electric cars

www.teslamotors.com


Check it out, this looks pretty cool. If only they could get it to charge in under an hour and have a range of 350 miles...

Re: electric cars

Someone said about 80,000 on another forum I don't know it that's true but it seems resonable for a sports car, new technology, new 'car company', if it is I didn't look into if someone else owns them, and so on.

Re: electric cars

very nice look to it. i'd like a price on it too. hope they announce a price, it would be something i'd consider instead of another P/U or SUV

Have a look at the interior photos, and the chassis diagram. Iv seen a few naked Elise's, and it looks very familar.
Its also made from extruded Aluminuim.
It could also be the new Europa chassis of course.
