Tesla electric car...

[Rob Williams]

Maybe I am the last person to see this, but this is by far the best looking electric car I have seen

Yep, saw that a few weeks back. It is an awesome little car.

I'd like to know how far it goes on one charge. I mean, I wouldn't want to get stuck somewhere with a dead battery.. That line has a whole new meaning now.

It's sleek looking, reminds me of a Lotus Elise. It'd be fun to ride around in certainly, but for 90Gs I can get a Viper... They do 200+. Do they save the planet? No, but hey.. It's a Viper.

It does look quite a bit like an Elise, but I like this a bit more. I dunno, it's just one damn sexy car.

There, I said it. I agree with you on the battery charge though... that's a good point.

 

[madmat]

It goes 100 miles on a charge and hits 130mph...

Tesla?!?

 

[madmat]

Yeah, the band fell through so they started making cars

 

[Greg King]

No man, Tesla Coils. The defensive weapon in C&C Red Alert. C&C FTW!!!!

I think my Tesla was around long before C&C

 

[Greg King]

Yes, well. You win this round them Matt.

Woot! Enough to go grab a Starbucks and get back to the office.

I was interested in this car until i read that its range was 100 miles...

Sure it is great for everyday town use, but I couldnt make it home form school on one charge.

 

[Angela Miller]

Where I live 100 miles could get me to wherever I needed to go possibly the next city.
And yes that's a sweet looking car.

Yeah well good for you. Its just not very practical in a travel / comercial (meaning lots of driving) way.

Get me something with 300+ miles a charge... then we would be talking, well in town driving anyways.
