My buddy sitting in the passenger seat. He's almost 6 feet, and overweight (sorry lol), but he says he was comfortable as a passenger and driver!

Laughing our asses off after driving it up the 405 from Santa Monica, exiting on Sunset east, then down Veteran through Westwood. The Tesla Roadster is a torque monster from 0 RPM throughout most of the RPM range!!!!!

Tesla is build on Lotus platform thats why it looks like one. You can charge the car at home from either 110 recepticle or 220 in about 3.5 hours. And as for a daily beater i dont think so, daily precious driver yes at the sticker price of about $110,000. This car is nothing like electric cars you have seen before. 0-60 3.9 top speed 125mph and driving range of 220miles before needing a charge


$110K! No daily beater here. :LOL:


What are you so concerned about Peter.... Isn't this a photo of you selection when it comes to commuting to work in the AM????
