That's with a novice racer behind the wheel. However, the slow R.T. really has no effect on overall time, so I don't know that a lack of experience makes a big deal.

What do you guys think? Personally, at $100K each, I'm not interested. When they can come up with an electric car with both the same power AND price and a gas car, THEN they will have my interest. Until then, I'll keep my GP.

prices for new technology will always be high...plus they factor in that you wont be buying fuel for your budget (still doesnt do it for me) especially with two seat car...but there are plenty of overly wealthy types in California who will buy it...as an alternative to a Ferrari it is comparitively cheap.

Remember the roadster is based on the Lotus Elise. It already weighs next to nothing.

I wouldn't mind owning an Elise...

Seen this today, awesome!! Love the color.
Oh it's a Tesla

Quik as hell! No noise, just left me at a green light waving "later GP "

Too expensive. I'd get a Chevy volt though.

Top gear tested one battery didn't last very long with "spririted" driving.
