0 - 60 MPH in under 4 seconds?
« on: November 14, 2007, 11:03:47 AM »
With gas prices reaching new heights on what seems a weekly basis and our dwindling oil reserves, wouldn't it be great if an electric car came along that not only was environment friendly, but actually had a beuatiful look and didn't putter along? 

Wait no more!!!  Tesla Moters has brought your dream to fruition.


  • 0-60 in under 4 seconds
  • 100% electric
  • 135 MPG equivelant
  • 245 Miles per charge (3.5 hour charge time max)
  • Less than 2 cents per mile to operate

Take a look at this image and tell me that this isn't an absolutely gorgeous car!  I dare ya!  The only drawback that I've seen is it's base price of $98,000 US.  :bang:  Guess I'll be scrimping and saving for a while, eh?  lol

What happens when it gets hit by lightning? Does it travel back to 1885?

That is one minuscule car! They found two skinny guys and they STILL look crammed in there.

But it looks cool and I want one!

Love the Car.

Love the Features.

Hate the Price.

I'll take Koshiir's Porsche though.

Well, I posted in the old forums about this car when it was previewed some time back.  I want to go "green," and the Tesla Roadster was looking might green TO THE WALLET!

Since then, what with my quasi-suburban lifesytle, I've decided to get a FASTER vehicle with GREATER mileage and range, and just a 10 minute recharge time!!

I give you, the Lotus APX!

    No doubt this is a major jump in elec cars. The 5 drawbacks to the buying public
being price,range,performance ,cost and ease of maintenence. The major two being
range and performace. Id suggest for long road trips a small turbine. There are mini
turbine's that can be had in the 2000 dollar range that produce as much a 4hp to drive a generator that could be extend the range of the car considerably. And a turbine will burn pretty much anything.
    I'd like to see this company produce conversion kits to reduce the cost. Theres
many light cars that would be fairly easy to do this to. Also I'm a firm beliver in the  KISS ( keep it simple stupid) princible when engineering anything. Remember it will have to be maintained,diagnosed and repaired. Which is why I own older cars that
I can work on. LOL for someone like me to even consider an elec car is a milestone.
   Id really like to build something like this. Theres tons of kit car's that look as good or better than the tesla, possibly even lighter with better suspension and aerodynamics. Hummm how bout a electric aluminum framed countach?
