Tesla Roadster

I'm suprised that I haven't found anything about the Tesla Roadster any where on this site. Tesla Motors is a new car company in San Carlos, CA that is dedicated to changing the world's view on electric cars. Here are some specs on the car:


0-60 about 4 sec
248 HP
almost 200 ft-lbs of torque
nearly 100% of torque available from 0 to over 13,000rpm
250 miles per charge
100% electric
design help from Lotus, so you know it will handle like it was glued to the pavement
you should be able to see it on the road in Californa by early 2007for more details about this car, go to www.teslamotors.com

I know this post might sound like an advertisment, but I'm just excited about this car and i want people to know that electic cars can be very fast. I wish i had the money to buy one.

there is also a brief artice on the Tesla in this month's Popular Mechanics

too bad it is going to be super expensive

Your right, it's an Electric Lotus, all the more reason to hate it, I'd take a Lambo any day over that, that car is crap, it looks like crap and drives like crap, trust me.

Did you look in the "Tesla Motors" forum? :wink:

As soon as I have $100,000 to spend, I'm buying one.

They keep increasing its weight to make it safe, and lower its distance to compensate for the increased weight.
