@gianboy2001 Well fortunately for Tesla they can justify the price on performance and looks as well. Plus the rich environmentalists can breath easy at night too.
@gianboy2001 you wouldn't, this is a performance vehicle. you don't buy a performance vehicle if you are worried about saving anything, you buy it for performance. To me the only disappointing thing about the roadster is that they are going to stop producing it. I think they should treat it the way chevrolet treats the corvette. make it a showcase item... worry about making money with your OTHER products. this car is the face of Tesla. HUGE mistake to stop producing it.
The oil companies are not threatened by electric vehicles.
By the time the world SLOWLY converts to Electric Vehicles the INCREASED population of the earth will still be consuming all the Oil and Natural Gas needed for the thousands of other products that are made directly and or indirectly from Oil and natural gas.
Keep in mind that the electric Vehicle you see in the video would not be possible without the Oil industry and the Natural Gas Industry.
Tesla is rolling over in his grave right now...seriously people!?! How disrespectful to take this brilliant mans name and shit on it for profit. The dream he tried to realize was free energy for EVERYONE. This is a bad joke, if Tesla hadn't sacraficed his personal wealth in the current wars, Edison would've imposed the DC system and poor people would still cook on fires. This mans name is many times more deserving than the name of an overpriced car.. this is a disgusting mockery of Tesla's dream
i don't know about an electric sports car. the porsche 918 spyder would be the biggest compromise i could accept but i definitely need the roaring of a high performance internal combustion engine when i kick down...
@younglionz You probably drive some 5mpg truck. Electric car=makes a whole lot more sense than a stinkin gasser. Less torque lag, more efficient, quiet, less emissions, will eventually allow America to not depend on all of the psycho middle eastern countries for energy.
YO PEOPLE! this song isn't gay u gaylorded haters! this is a good song that i first heard off of GTA Vice City Stories & is exelent!!! BTW coming from a 15 year old!!! & still better than MOST of todays junk...

@maingunsx "The problem here is that if every person or at least most people use this type of cars then there is going to be less jobs because of the fel companies" RIGHT BECAUSE no one works for the electric companies, or the electric car companies. :S
Musk knew.... Tesla made earthquakes in 1899. Tesla died in Hotel New Yorker Room No. 3327 - 3328 because Yakutat Bay Epicenter Time in 1899 on September 3rd was 3h 3m 27s - 3h 3m 28s on the first man made major earthquake. That is why he was "overly obsessed" with the number 3 and could only hint that he was behind the Scottis Rite 33rd degree. Earthquake British Association No. 333 on Sept. 3 at 3:03 p.,m. epicenter time 1899.
its weird as hell because there is no sound, you cant hear the engine, my neighbor bought one used for around $50,000 and he gave me a ride, no sound at all. I personally like to hear the engine.
The oil lobby is keeping despotic Arab countries afloat and cash rich, able to fund terrorism and extremists ideological parties who are already in the west and poised to strike.
This car represents more than just quiet engines with fewer moving parts - it represents preservation of freedom in the west and the destruction of terrorist states without having to send our boys over there to die. With more nuclear power stations we could run most vehicles on electricity and have cleaner air.
for all you people who think the oil companies are gonna some how make this company who "ALREADY" are using electric motors capable of meeting road standards. Please look the technology up and buy it then tell yours friends. KAPESH
This car may go fast and look good, but it, and for that matter all other electric cars, are no more economical than your average car. Yes it uses less emisions while driving. But it takes roughly SIX hours to charge it, and where do you think the electricity that charges it comes from?
It comes from the power stations, which produce more greenhouse gases in a day than your average car does in a week!!
If you want to save the world, your better off buying something like a Ford Fiesta Econetic.
@Pranksterboy333 This is precisely why the entire global warming issue is used by corporations to again, manipulate the masses. People are fucking sheep.
@Pranksterboy333 Read this blog to understand this issue big-oils-electric-shock on the betterplace blog site.Saying that a powerplant produces more emissions than an average car is rediculous because a power station will be able to power more many more than one car.
@cag66 ok, cars only cause 14 percent of major global warming! The other 86 percent is caused by powerplants and farms! So if your really serious about stopping global warming, try putting solar panels on the roof of your house! And in a test done on Top Gear, a BMW M3 and Toyota Prius drove at exactly the same speed around the Top Gear Test Track. The BMW 19.4 miles to the gallon, the Prius did 17.2 miles to the gallon! Thats because of all the fuel the hybrid engine needs to recharge it self!
@Pranksterboy333 the prius and tesla are completely different. The prius is a hybrid, electric-gas, then the tesla is all electric, no gas. And the reason the prius used more fuel is because the m3 did not have to struggle to maintain the same speeds. The electric engine only works when not under load, so getting a car up to speed with its 67hp compared to the 414hp of the m3 is a struggle. Example being my GT nearly gets as good of gas milage as my BMW 330i under the right conditions.
@98bamaboygt Electric cars are even worse than hybrids! All Electric cars do is transfer power from the pump to the plug. And as far as the Prius' engine only working when not under load goes, if I can't drive my car down a main road, doing 60km/h without it working then that is extremely bad engine sustanability. (I neglected to mention in my last post that they were doing about 60km/h around the track).
And as I said before, the car only produces 14 percent of green house gases.
Why would anyone take a very expensive car and turn it into an even more expensive car and then expect to sell a bunch of them ? How is this practical? If they had done this with something like a Ford Focus, then I'd be a lot more interested and so would the rest of the general public. Please don't tell me all these cars are already sold out. That's called scarcity hype.
@cag66 How is it a waste of time when a single engine could power a street full of homes? When the only thing coming out of the exhaust is water and when it is the most commonly found resource in the universe? It's got about the same difficulty to extract has deep water drilling which takes place all over the world. It also only has an engine with one moving part and allows people to drive like they usually would. They fill up like usual and drive like usual. There is no recharging at home etc.
@Lurkku lol wuzz up with this fuckn detroit rednecks saying oil companies will destroy thi sdream ahaha california is going green big time real big time in case you didn know this car is oversold as of now there are thousands of costumers in waitng list you fuckn moron i dont see that happenin at any fuckn gmc
your right, i spend on average 5k a year in gas, average car cost 35 say it slast for 10 years we can all agree on that thats 55000 with out repairs factored it but lets say all cars have no repairs, paying 100k for a car to save you on gas, isnt saving you money.lol hahahha this is not the answer to the energy crisis
Hummer h2 in the winter and sl550 in the summer, i spend roughly 500 a month on gas, cost me about 100 to fill up lasts about 5-6 days depending... i love in ottawa, gas costs about $0.90 a liter, your probably american so your gas is slightly cheaper, i forget how many liters are in an american gallon, something like 3.8 so thats about 3.40 a gallon, and Ottawa has the cheapest gas in Canada
y do u drive that much? where r u going that u go thru that much gas? and shame on u taking all of Saudi Arabia's petroleum! lol jk i really dont care. one day we'll have self charging (as u drive) electric cars. btw solar pannels would look BA on a car and u all know it. but really. y do u drive a h2?? whats the point? im not saying u r, but r u compensating for a small penis or something? (i mean no disrespect) the reason i ask is because thats what most of the people i knew driving those did.
@piatdor I hear in the next few years there will be a 4 door sedan for 55,000...and that fairly competitive. the roadster is a car for rich ppl to buy to ease their conscience and feel like they are better than the rest of us.
no what we need is nuclear reactors they produce more power than coal wind solar and and tidal with the added affect it goes about 80 years with out to many repairs but that is not the point sure we could switch to e-cars tomarow but when every one plugs thier car in every city will go dark because even with all the power generating equipment we have to day it is not going to charge all these cars!
No one realises that this car cannot be deemed to produce zero emissions. We live in a world where electricity is mostly generated by burning fossil fuels, more electricity = more carbon emissions.
"clean coal" is not the majority of electricity generated. Its a lame point anyway considering how much more carbon emissions are put off by the process of converting oil into usable fuels and then burning them in a combustion engine.
Wrong. 1st of all el. cars have much lower servicing costs. A litre of gasoline contains about 2.7 kW·h (9.7 MJ) of energy. To calculate the cost of the electrical equivalent of a liter of gasoline, multiply the utility cost per kW·h by 2.7. The Tesla uses about 13 kW·h/100 km, the EV1 used about 11 kW·h/100 km. In the worst case the electric car is at least two times more efficient than normal car.
and if there was better solar panel technology wind powered geothermal river turbines , but no more dams they change the ecosystems and the natures course of the river
I'm not talking about the cars energy. I'm commenting on the coal burning cop out that people give when they say "we need to burn coal in order to produce electricity, which still releases co2." Now that person has limited imformation on how geothermal, tidal, wind and solar energies can eliminate coal burning. Zero point energy can amplify these energy outputs to produce free clean energy for the entire planet. Peace.
WOW! Yeah great? How much? 100 grand! Keeping the rich, richer & the poor, poorer. Yeah great! Tesla Co. named after Nikola right? who wanted fuck all for his incredible visions and got ripped off. These greedy cunts can all fuck right off.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i dont care if that is a nice looking car or that it is elctric the fact of a nice car is that you hear the pur of the engine and hear it roar when u work it hard but the fact is that elctric cars are fucking retarded..... if u were a proper petrol head (as the name states) you need a propare engine
the CEO of TESLA and other electric car manufacturers should have shown up in washington when the big3 was asking for money to tell congress to give them the money instead.
this could set the bench mark for other cars but either way the government and fuel companies are gonna screw us over still. we'd still pay electric and road tax
what I don't understand is why don't the elitists get a piece of the action so that we can all be happy? If it's money they are concerned about losing, then why don't they build a business model/plan to include exploiting these new free-energy concepts??

haha how nice to see things will revolutionize our future, say good bye to fossil fuels, i had to give the credit to nikola tesla, hei amerika, stop whinning your political stature nd lets do this this is the future.
Nice...how much? (If you have to ask, you can't afford it) Great idea except that the cost is prohibitive. The safe bet says that 90% of the population that could use a car like this (even the more "practical" version) would never make enough money to buy it, with a loan or without.
Both system, electric and compressed air, still need energy sources. they still need so much power to recharge their machines. it's not a new invention at all.
but the point with electric is that there are alternatives. stick a solar panel on your roof and power your car for free with zero pollution whatsoever.
you forgot nuclear and hydroelectric, both less carbon footprints and cheaper then coal. Plus, oil needs to be drilled, refined, shipped, trucked, pumped then burned. Very inefficient so Sorry, wrong. Plus, if cars are plugged into the grid for power, we can concentrate our energy into improving the grid. Electric cars are the future but the jury is still out on this particular car..hopefully it will pan out..up next plug in hybrids! These are very promising.
To hell with a gas guzzling porshe I want one of those. Paying HUGE gobs of money 1 time is worth if you never have to pay for fuel just ask those smart folks with solar panels on their roofs and windmills in the back of the house you pay once but never again do the math.
woo hoo! they (oil companies & oil countries) can't kill us all. We all need to keep sharing ideas about energy and free ourselves from oil and assumed power.
0 to 60 in 4.2 seconds. Tops out at 250 MPH. BEATS the f&^k out of the new BMW. And for those of you simpletons - the electrical power can come from solar, wind, or ocean... Let's get moving, and cut the oil-biased crap.
The compressed air engines are not efficient. Chemistry is more efficient than physics. The car does not clean the air they just compress it and run the car off of it. that car is nothing new think of an air compressor all you do is turn it on and run tools.
efficiency depending on which point of view. besides the car does clean the air when a filter is added to the air exit, and even more.. it comes at 0° C ... cold enough.. for the global warming, one car does nothing to it.. but if a city uses them.. or a whole country ... this cars go more than 100km p/hour so its nice
but if a city uses them.. or a whole country ... or a whole world...maybe not That particular system but A system that scrubs air.Science is driven by achieving a goal which performs a function, not always do they consider long term ramifications of the processes involved.(by-products) Today we can start from the exhaust (what do we need it to output) and work in reverse to make it perform the functions we seek.
I'm all up for cars cleaning the air, but if we could just get good enough at emissions to stop this global warming phenomena, nature would take care of the rest.
Pollution due to emissions is only one of the problems electric cars will solve. Combustion engines were a bad idea since 1885 with Daimler. Fuel dependency is bad for any country, besides its on a limited supply. Electro Mangetic fields will be around to stay. With the only waste comig from the lithium ion batteries, eletric motors are far better with almost 90% less moving parts. If we'd put half the effort into perfecting electric motors they would already be way ahead of gas motors.
Of course not, but think about the global impact for the long terms. The impact from the Roadster is of course much less than from a gasoline or dieselcar.
Well, if the battey life is 100,000 miles and the range is 221 miles; then 2 batteries (SUV?) would be 200,000/442 miles (especially at 65 mph). Couldn't a very small "fuel" engine designed only to operate a charging generator, charge one battery while the other battery operates the power train? Switch? Repeat? This would only be used for long distance trips and power failures; and help eliminate the obsessive anxiety involved insuring the 4 hour recharge. Otherwise, it's tow truck city. :-)
Pop an Altinater <---Misspell. In that sucker and wal-la...Closed reaccuring current. charges and it runs. 2 sets of battries. Run on one while other charges...auto switch to charged as the others fade and Charges the faded. P.S...I suck at spelling
"Nice stuff but what's the point of making electric sports cars?? You run on electricity but still have to use oil, coal or uranium to generate it"
energy efficiency and individual consumer gain.
5 times as efficient in energy consumption, and due to lower cost of production of energy from electrical plants up to 50 times lower cost for individual consumer.
when you can drive 200 or 300 kilometers on 2 dollars of charge , makes a lot of difference..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Nice stuff but what's the point of making electric sports cars?? You run on electricity but still have to use oil, coal or uranium to generate it. The important thing for the future of mankind is to make cars which run on clean energy which can be cleanly and cheaply generated. Sports car are good for nothing. Cars are here to move us around efficiently and ecologically. What's the point of a top speed over 200 km per hour if the speed limit is 110? Just a show-off??
I agree with your first point entirely, but I'm coming around to the idea of electric cars. It's gonna be a lot easier to produce electricity and then then charge up a car than make a car which generates its own.
We need fast and flashy electrics to catch the public's eye and assure investment. A concept is still a concept but leads to production models, yes?
The energy efficiency when producing electricity is way higher than the efficiency of a vehicle engine... so using electric driven cars is one way of lowering the fosil fuel consumption
Yes, of course. It's simply and exercise in competitive consumption. That's why so many Americans drive 12 mpg SUVs. Many americans put themselves deeply into debt leasing and fueling these vehicles. Of course, their financial distress is not indicated on a bumper sticker. The car fetish is deeply ingrained in the human psyche. Look at China, for example. No oil, gridlock with 2 percent of the population in a car and the air is like breathing burning tar. Yet gas instead of electric.

your right, i spend on average 5k a year in gas, average car cost 35 say it slast for 10 years we can all agree on that thats 55000 with out repairs factored it but lets say all cars have no repairs, paying 100k for a car to save you on gas, isnt saving you money.lol hahahha this is not the answer to the energy crisis

Wrong. 1st of all el. cars have much lower servicing costs. A litre of gasoline contains about 2.7 kW·h (9.7 MJ) of energy. To calculate the cost of the electrical equivalent of a liter of gasoline, multiply the utility cost per kW·h by 2.7. The Tesla uses about 13 kW·h/100 km, the EV1 used about 11 kW·h/100 km. In the worst case the electric car is at least two times more efficient than normal car.

Zero point energy can amplify these energy outputs to produce free clean energy for the entire planet. Peace.

you forgot nuclear and hydroelectric, both less carbon footprints and cheaper then coal. Plus, oil needs to be drilled, refined, shipped, trucked, pumped then burned. Very inefficient so Sorry, wrong. Plus, if cars are plugged into the grid for power, we can concentrate our energy into improving the grid. Electric cars are the future but the jury is still out on this particular car..hopefully it will pan out..up next plug in hybrids! These are very promising.

efficiency depending on which point of view. besides the car does clean the air when a filter is added to the air exit, and even more.. it comes at 0° C ... cold enough.. for the global warming, one car does nothing to it.. but if a city uses them.. or a whole country ... this cars go more than 100km p/hour so its nice

Pollution due to emissions is only one of the problems electric cars will solve. Combustion engines were a bad idea since 1885 with Daimler. Fuel dependency is bad for any country, besides its on a limited supply. Electro Mangetic fields will be around to stay. With the only waste comig from the lithium ion batteries, eletric motors are far better with almost 90% less moving parts. If we'd put half the effort into perfecting electric motors they would already be way ahead of gas motors.

Well, if the battey life is 100,000 miles and the range is 221 miles; then 2 batteries (SUV?) would be 200,000/442 miles (especially at 65 mph). Couldn't a very small "fuel" engine designed only to operate a charging generator, charge one battery while the other battery operates the power train? Switch? Repeat? This would only be used for long distance trips and power failures; and help eliminate the obsessive anxiety involved insuring the 4 hour recharge. Otherwise, it's tow truck city. :-)

energy efficiency and individual consumer gain.
5 times as efficient in energy consumption, and due to lower cost of production of energy from electrical plants up to 50 times lower cost for individual consumer.
when you can drive 200 or 300 kilometers on 2 dollars of charge , makes a lot of difference..

I agree with your first point entirely, but I'm coming around to the idea of electric cars. It's gonna be a lot easier to produce electricity and then then charge up a car than make a car which generates its own.

Yes, of course. It's simply and exercise in competitive consumption. That's why so many Americans drive 12 mpg SUVs. Many americans put themselves deeply into debt leasing and fueling these vehicles. Of course, their financial distress is not indicated on a bumper sticker. The car fetish is deeply ingrained in the human psyche. Look at China, for example. No oil, gridlock with 2 percent of the population in a car and the air is like breathing burning tar. Yet gas instead of electric.
