Latigo Canyon Rd in the Tesla Roadster

[animation508]

I bike this road, it's so fun! The other day I say a Tesla Model S beta being driven. It was astounding. And the driver was awesome ^_^

[scientifico]

I wrecked a mazda rx-7 on that road. Going up was gravy, coming down? Not so much. First thought when I saw that hood folded up in front of me, after realizing that the airbag had blown my face raw was "Glad I got the full insurance." The tow truck guy that picked up the car said a person dies on latigo canyon once a week. Went back and drove it again just to beat the jinx. Truth is, it's a serious piece of road and not one to take lightly.

Haha, I crush this road every time I go up there. Since there is so much turning, my small engine means less, and more so my driving skill and car agility. I don't think many people have the balls to do what I do.

Problem with the Tessla is this: When actually driven hard, the battery will only last your 53 miles.

[Nichen]

That's Bull. Stop watching Top Gear.

[SDSakuragi]

I'll bite. Prove to me that Top Gear's results were bull.

[Nichen]

Well IT IS BULL in the sense that you don't drive your Tesla like they did on the track in real world. Even with hard-driving the range would be 160 miles and with "normal" drive the range would be around 230-240 miles. Ask the Tesla Roadster owners. When a ferrari drives on a track the consumption can be as high 1.8 MPG!!!!!

[SDSakuragi]

A Tessla Roadster is a sports car. They're meant to be driven hard, just like a Ferrari. They're not designed for picking up groceries or your kids from soccer practice.

Fuel economy and cruising range are usually not important factors for a sports car except this car takes over 8 hours to recharge! If i drive from LA with a full charge to go Willow Springs Raceway for a trackday, I'd get in all of 4 laps before I'd have to spend the rest of the day charging the damned thing.

[Nichen]

You know what SDSakuragi? I don't give a fuck. I still would fuckin love to have a Tesla Roadster in my garage.

[buddyalvarenga]

all you guys stay off this road unless you are SKILLED biker. This road is perfect for bikes all you others make this road slow and dangerous.

[divineserpent]

shut up and drive you pansy, i have taken that road faster in a stock 1988 acura integra. and even faster in a stock 240sx.

[divineserpent]

this dud is driving the speed limit. used to drive that road multiple times a weak and I can tell you that he could safely be going 10mph faster in most of this video. pansy

[Onimun]

Its a good video. Too bad these guys dont know anything.

[rnieves1977]

Love the sound of the motor even though it's low. Until they chop the price at least in half I'll have to settle with my Elise which is pretty much the same thing except gas powered and lighter.

[mrvics]

slow

[Kingsoupturbo]

Nice road, but the driver is so arrogant, blah blah, I know how to drive, blah blah, don't be scared I KNOW what I'm doing, exactly what I'd expect from some Californian car salesguy

[BestOfTheBruces]

I've drove this road earlier this year, but much slower and in a pickup truck worth a lot less than 100 grand. It's a beautiful drive. I'd still rather take it in a Tesla though.

[massimova]

Wanted Tesla Car, new or used, also buy options and reservations.

HELP ME!!!

Thank you

[hondica]

It seems great, but this car don`t have sound and people on the road don`t hear you. Am I right?

[Dilekz]

I dont know where you live... but here in europe. Normal cars don't make sound EITHER. You only hear noise from the tires.. So it wouldnt make a difference because a tesla roadster has them TOO.... There ain't much V8..V6's etc here anymore.

[rnieves1977]

lol well it might force some people to look both ways when they cross while on the cell phone.

[hondica]

VTEC + air filter makes sound :)

[uncleshorty]

Its went down Latigo Canyon Rd.

[cooluser23]

This car is just great.

Love the video with the talking..

Latigo cyn road is awesome. I want to drive it one day.

[webhappy]

The cut off is probably on purpose since a name was about to be revealed!

[ekuwa69]

Ahh man it cut off when he got into an interesting conversation.  Love the ride though.

[Peavyboy1]

Thanks Tesla for the video ride. Wish i had $98,000 for the real ride...
