Tesla EV Roadster
Thursday, July 20, 2006 12:20 PM


The electric-powered Tesla Roadster boasts a top speed of more than 130 mph and a range of 250 miles on a single charge, a combination heretofore unseen in a mass-produced electric vehicle. Its extended range is due to its state-of-the-art lithium-ion Energy Storage System. The Tesla Roadster is capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in about four seconds.

That is awesome! Good find, and car looks very good....and suprisingly, the cost of the car isnt even that high, and can compete with some nicer cars on the market too....hats off to Tesla for the great car

Very cool car.

When ever I hear the word "Tesla" I think "Tesla Coil" off of the CC games. I was hoping it shot high voltage electric bolts out to keep car jackers at bay.

Ahhhh now I see where all the money PayPal has stolen from people over the years went to. I all makes sense now. Well i think every person that's been screwed by PayPal should get a free Tesla. VERY COOL car (for just an electric Lotus Elise) but the company is ran by a douchebag.

Nice.
Looks like it is based on the Lotus Elise. Good thing about electric motors is that all their torque is at 0 rpms. So if the electric motor is strong and the car is light, 4sec to 60 is not out of this world.
But for the projected price of $85K-$120K, I rather have piece of mind of a combustion engine, mainly a C6 z06. Now if I crap money, I'd get one though.
