I like your car, but if you want my love, and I mean my money, you have to be part of the dick slinging contest. I mean speed speed speed. Faster horses. Big everything. Go all out
@RisiCompetizioni id buy the tesla model S, do 0-60 in 3.7, pay half the money of the nissan gtr, and be happy never paying for gas again. plus why would you want to go 193 mph? lol
@jad3948 Because 193mph is faster that 125mph. We're talking about performance cars and 125mph is something that your average hatchback can do these days, sure they won't accelerate as fast. In the handling the department the GT-R has already proved itself as a world beater and holds the record for many tracks and courses around the world. Don't get me wrong the Tesla is fantastic achievement, but it still needs a few key improvements to be a true contender with the big dogs.
@jad3948 All great points, i love the GTR and always will but tesla is the future (hopefully) Iv moved on to a hybrid an im hoping my next car is all electric. Tesla would be my first choice :D
@RisiCompetizioni The point is its all electric... losing the gas alone makes it an automatic winner. $300 a year to run the tesla....3-5k on gas for the GTR hmmmm easy choice if you're looking to peace out gas stations.
@Snaix93 Base price I believe is $109,000.00. But that was a couple years ago it may or may not have gone up or down.Either way it's probably still expensive.
@Snaix93 The new roadster currently has no price. Also, base Model S (160 miles in a single charge) is 49,000$ (Not including tax and supercharger or standard charger).
That was impressive. The Tesla is an acceleration junkie, now all Tesla have to do is conquer the range issue and they might have a viable sports car on their hands...
Whinge away you Luddites, electric power is the future once the niggles have been ironed out. Watch out for the Jaguar CX-75. Although strictly a hybrid it will change the supercar landscape when its launched. Shortly you will be able to own a green supercar that will trounce the opposition. 200+mph, 0-60mph sub 3sec, 99gm/km CO2
The Roadster does 0-60 in 3.7 seconds while the 911 Turbo does it in 3.3 so there is no way that the tesla won so that leaves one conclusion,the guy in the 911 didn't do 100% on the throttle
Most pro petrol car ppl will say the race was not fair... and they are right! A combustion engine cannot compete against electric power. Races like this, the White Zombie and the Wrightspeed X1 show that electric power is simply superior in quick to instant power output / acceleration.Personally I fell in love with electric power after riding the Hulk roller coaster at Universal Studios. The feeling of instant power is amazing.
thats pretty beast, tesla seems to be doing well with their electric sports cars. It truly is the future, and this race was indeed fair. They don't call it porche 911 TURBO for nothing, that car is extremely powerful, the engine just radiates power. The electric engine could've not been as powerful and may not have been able to produce so much energy at one time, so the fact that tesla makes this possible is a big plus.
I don't know why people are hating on Tesla Motors, I think they've done a brilliant job. Electric cars, Zero Emission engines in general are the future ... and it looks like the future kicks ...!
@tsegaselassi Cause for some reason people are afraid of this electric change for the good. I don't get it either. I hope gas prices keep rising rising and rising so people are forced into more environmentally friendly methods of transportation :D
@mikennamorato The race wasn't meant to be fair, I think the idea behind it is that you can't compare something that has a low energy efficiency and converts most of the fuels energy to heat rather than kinetic energy, to something that is over 80% efficient, and gets instantaneous maximum torque starting from 1rpm
@normalais Except when they catch fire....have you seen the Top Gear review of the Tesla? How long does it take to charge a Tesla? How about a cross country road trip in a Tesla. I'd like to see that. How long do you think that would take?
@rogerpemberton top gear is all lies. ask any one of the roadster owners how long it takes to charge and then come back to me. and how about fires? not a SINGLE fire caused by any roadster, Ever.
@gopedman33 You should really educate yourself. Top Gear put TWO Tesla roadsters through the same paces they put all the cars they get and they both caught on fire. I believe one of them was brake related. Why don' you tell me how long it takes to charge a Tesla roadster?
@rogerpemberton OH yes, top gear, the epitome of honest automotive journalism. LMAO. That entire episode of top gear was scripted before they ever even started driving a Tesla.
@normalais Right...and all those Tesla engineers standing around were in on it too? Get a life. Did you know that environmentalists are usually criminals? Didn't know we knew that did you? That's right, hard core criminal types are those most likely to be hard core environmentalists. You garbage are so transparent.
@rogerpemberton LMAO they showed a script of that top gear episode. It was written before the episode even aired. It was all scripted. Topgear is all about entertainment, not honest journalism.
@normalais Really? I'd like to see that. Why would Tesla send two cars and their engineers to participate in something they knew would reveal that their product is a train wreck waiting to happen? BUSTED...or you can just give us all a link to your fantasy.
@rogerpemberton They didn't know. But it was already proven that it was scripted. But if you don't like Tesla that's fine with me. I can't wait for Tesla Model X to come out soon. It will be the best car in the world. Anti progress, anti-alternative energy people like clarkson and yourself will look like dinosaurs.
@normalais So are you saying Top Gear sabotaged the cars right under the Tesla engineers' noses? Who do you think brought the cars to the track? When were the Top Gear people alone with them? I not anti anything you said. I'm anti bullshit. When it works then it will work. It doesn't work now. Look at Chevy Volt sales...hell, look at ANY HYBRID SALES recently. Only the Prius sells and it NEVER produces what Toyota claims.
@rogerpemberton They didn't sabotage anything, they just pretended it wasn't running. They already admited the car was running fine when they pretended it died and pushed it. Who gives a shit about the boring ass gasoline Prius. Tesla Model S is awesome and Tesla Model X will be even better. Anti-progress people like Clarkson will get a kick in the balls.
@rogerpemberton People are dumb fucks in the united states, just because something good isnt selling doesnt mean its not good. Gas prices go down and people say oh shit yea, wheres my F250 yeehaww. Hybrids and electric cars NEED to be the future and it'll happen with or without you :)
@utrvg4 Right.....It will happen when it works. When stupid Americans buy them then will that mean the technology is then "stupid" because Americans buy it? Militant environmentalists are known to have much higher propensities for criminal activity. Did you know that? Of course you did.......;)
@normalais Unless you want to go on a long journey without much downtime. Once that is cracked. I'd make a switch.
It will never compete in road racing though, for the simple fact that combustion cars reduce in weight as they consume energy, where as electric will always stay at the same mass. They are always on "full tanks".
@JeefCakes electric cars will destroy combustion cars in road racing. Compare Tesla Model S to BMW 5 series- Tesla weighs less dues to no heavy combustion engine, has better weight balance, far lower center of gravity due to batteries in the floor, therefore it handles better. Maximum torque at ALL rpms. There is no contest. And taking a 30 min break to get some food on a long journey while your electric car recharges doesn't sound all that bad.
@normalais As much as i agree with you, comparing the roadster to the Lotus Elise would be more accurate, as the Roadster was developed from it (loosely, it's not simply a converted Elise as was reported at the time).
@mikennamorato May or may not be fake, my money is on not, due to the mere fact that Roadster is 0-60mph in 3.4 seconds, no gears as it's pure electric. Driving it hard is like getting shot out of a cannon.
@mikennamorato Well, thats just wrong, Porsche's own tech specs says 0-60 in 3.7 with manual gear, and well i'd like to see you going 60 without shifting once... It's just not done.
Go to porsche's website, then follow this link: /international/models/911/911-Turbo/featuresandspecs/
@MrDiablos1980 no semplicemente quello della porsche ha da cambiare e mentre a ogni cambiata il motore perde giri che son da recuperare e da riperdere la cambiata successiva,la tesla aumenta di potenza man mano che sale di giri senza dover cambiare e non perde potenziali metri preziosi,e da contare che la porsche ha un regime di giri ottimale per partire ma comunque sia sgomma un pò mentre la tesla parte dal minimo
Electrics are the future. The Tesla Roadster is an amazing car, no doubt. But that Porsche didn't even try. Must have revved up to 5K RPM and took more than 1 second to shift. 2nd to 3rd was a joke. The Roadster might still win, but it'd be great if it got a fair shake. Go EVs!
This is the future and the future is here, clearly, who still do not get it! It's pity we did not have it since 96 with EV1... I really hope these electric cars products will change mankind's mindset...
@n0morehate If you want torque go buy a train, they are diesel electric, have plenty of torque and go real fast in a straight line down hill, oh I forgot they get 100's of mpg to!
Imagine that they could produce this in the 20's !!!!!???!!!. Newton and Tesla were competitors. Tesla was backed by Westinghouse initially. J.P Morgan put the whole idea in drawer. :(....Imagine just for the power and the money.
Its on or off,a flat power curve,electrics will always be faster,the motors of which some of them reach close to 90 percent efficiency are only limited by the batteries technology and cost.Combustion motors,which we all love,sadly most of the power is out the exhaust.
@inagod It is only a flat power curve to a certain RPM, then it drops off quite horribly. At the end of the day a combustion powered sports car is going to be faster than a toaster .. so don't get too excited.
@Bigbreak2 Electric cars = electric motors .... the first electric motor was invented in the 1830s ... the first gasoline combustion engine in 1860 ... what's your question again?
the porsche was not using launch control and or it took off horribly the porsche def would have won all that shit u tards talk about electric cars bieng all that and a bag of chips doesnt apply to a full sized car
@01322521959 You're sold on only being able to drive 120 miles .. and then sit around waiting for 8 hours before you can go again? Clearly you don't have much going on in your life.
@ksearles85 The Tesla Roadster gets 245 miles per charge and it takes under 4 hours to charge from completely empty to completely full from a 240v outlet.
@squidvis So you think when you take this car out for a weekend trip, you're going to find an 80amp 240v outlet? Do you have such an incredibly high voltage outlet in your house mate? Try recharging one of these pieces of garbage from a regular 15amp 110v outlet ... you're looking at something like 20 to 30 hours to recharge it.
Statistics? Do you even know what the word means? Because I'm stating facts, not garbage I read in a catalogue. Moron.
@ksearles85 240v outlets are "incredibly high voltage"? The voltage that runs to your house is already 240v. In fact the outlet that you plug your dryer and air conditioner into is a 240v 30amp outlet and you can wire (or pay someone to wire) a 240v 50amp outlet in your garage. To be fair though it would be 50amps not 80amps like a charging station so the time would be more like 6-7hours for a full charge. Although that's from completely dry battery to a completely full battery.
@ksearles85 Odds are though you wouldn't be draining your battery dry everyday so lets say you have a long commute and drive like 100miles a day. You would still have 145miles worth of charge on your battery so to charge from 145miles to 245miles would take about 3 hours.
All Inventions today are just a question of money. If people want it, they get it.
When People want electric cars to be affordable and WANT to buy them. There will be the money for scientists to build better batteries. Have a look at computer technology the last 20 years. People needed faster computers, they bought them, they wanted them. We got them. They said "we can't make it faster. Physics dont allow us!" And they did - again and again.
@CroatianExTc Well oh what's that behind him,...a produced car...yr awesome man, just pure awesome, check it a bit more it was presented this year in Frankfurt, just check it
@CroatianExTc because it's on frankfurt doesn't mean it's going into production. and I bet that if you say that one prototype car counts as "being produced" i bet there are faster electric prototypes already manufactured.
@CroatianExTc can you tell me the name of the car? saying "We made fastest electric car on the planet" doesn't prove anything to those who read it. If I don't know the name nor the look of the car then I for sure won't see one on the streets.
@CroatianExTc oh i see, didn't get that :) so the 88 production versions will be the fastest electric cars on the street in 2013, unless anyone else announces a secret faster EV project meanwhile. cool
@FreeRiderDZ Well electric cars are the future if you ask me, a bit expensive future tbh -_-'
With Concept One battery you can go 600km far from the source, kinda hope the range will improve in the future, not only with that car but all the electric cars. It's time to throw gasoline in the garbage. Really hope you will be able to buy electric car for around 20,000 - 30,000$ in 10-15 years from now. Well we still gotta get pass that 2012 apocalypse, hahaha ;)
@CroatianExTc when it comes to the price of electric vehicles, all new technology is expensive till it 's more common. Petrol cars weren't cheap in the beginning either. And speaking of upcoming disasters, remember we did survive Y2K, 9/11, bird flu, swine flu and whatnot? :D I'm more than prepared for 2012 ^^
Bahahaha okay first off the porsche was not in launch control... 2nd the Porsche driver had it in manual... And 3rd he didn't shift into 2nd, he just let it hang around 9000rpm for 5 seconds..... Worst vid of a drag race ever.... Put me in the Porsche and I'll show you 0-62 in 3 sec
@MormonDJordan Put you in a Porsche and you'll show us how fast an ambulance can arrive on scene. A 911 Turbo might be able to his 62 mph in 3.5 seconds under optimal conditions including warm tires, weather, and a pro driver. My brother has one. David Empringham is his neighbour (and a good friend) and their best recorded time to 62 is 3.6 seconds. Just because you read some BS stats somewhere doesn't make them true in real life.
I drove one, they truly are amazing! Cost wise about $110,000+ might just be for a few a the lucky ones. They have improved the product and quality a lot. I'd buy one.
faster than porche, but 10times as expensive to maintain or fix, burnout the armature and your screwed, electronics always cost an arm and a leg, plus you better hope its water tight, or there goes your fancy electric car, just takes 1short
@nielsboex actually it goes 245 miles. 394 in km. also you can quick charge it in 4 hours or less. not only that, EV's still have more potential, just wait for a battery breakthrough (which is already in progress) seeing as its the only thing holding them back. you can't say the same about the internal combustion....
You're right but that's only if you're very careful with the accelerator. And the faster they charge, the faster you'll need to replace the battery. I think electric cars will be a LOT more expensive to repair and maintain. Also, I personally can't enjoy a silent sportscar, that's just the way I feel. If they manage to change all that I might change my mind about electric cars. The way electric cars are at this point in time, can you honestly say you'd want one ?
@nielsboex don't floor it and you should be ok. that doens't mean you have to drive like a grandma btw. I do have to say that for long trips, evs just don't cut it. and its probably true that quick charge is more likely to shorten the batteries lifespan. Most likely you'll have to pay $10,000 to replace the batteries in 10 years. However, most likely that's the only thing you will have to pay for since evs require minimal maintenance due to significantly less parts than an ICE.
@nielsboex as for the last question. I would only get one from tesla. Seeing how chevy used almost double the money to manufacture the poorly engineered volt, compared to tesla's soon to come model s, I trust GM even less now. As for the leaf, well... it looks funny. lol
aside all that, i agree i will miss the roar from the engine,
@ToMmaDj In the end, I don't think Tesla themselves can win. They are only showing the way. The biggest victory that Tesla can hope for, is when Porsche themselves start producing electric sportscars in 10 or 20 years. Then Tesla's job will be done, and young kids today will grow up on electric cars knowing that Tesla led the way. If they didn't, no-one else would have.
There is a huge difference between the amount of torque that they have during acceleration. The tesla has a lot more immediately as you take off while the porsche has to build as it accelerates.
It's clear the Porsche driver had no clue what he was doing. The Tesla Roadster Sport sprints its way to 60 in an impressive 3.7 seconds whereas the turbo has always been stated to run a staggering 3.2. I fail to see what this video proves.

@MrDiablos1980 no semplicemente quello della porsche ha da cambiare e mentre a ogni cambiata il motore perde giri che son da recuperare e da riperdere la cambiata successiva,la tesla aumenta di potenza man mano che sale di giri senza dover cambiare e non perde potenziali metri preziosi,e da contare che la porsche ha un regime di giri ottimale per partire ma comunque sia sgomma un pò mentre la tesla parte dal minimo

Electrics are the future. The Tesla Roadster is an amazing car, no doubt. But that Porsche didn't even try. Must have revved up to 5K RPM and took more than 1 second to shift. 2nd to 3rd was a joke. The Roadster might still win, but it'd be great if it got a fair shake. Go EVs!

Its on or off,a flat power curve,electrics will always be faster,the motors of which some of them reach close to 90 percent efficiency are only limited by the batteries technology and cost.Combustion motors,which we all love,sadly most of the power is out the exhaust.

@inagod It is only a flat power curve to a certain RPM, then it drops off quite horribly. At the end of the day a combustion powered sports car is going to be faster than a toaster .. so don't get too excited.

@ksearles85 The Tesla Roadster gets 245 miles per charge and it takes under 4 hours to charge from completely empty to completely full from a 240v outlet.
Where are you getting your statistics? Your ass?
squidvis 3 months ago
@squidvis So you think when you take this car out for a weekend trip, you're going to find an 80amp 240v outlet? Do you have such an incredibly high voltage outlet in your house mate? Try recharging one of these pieces of garbage from a regular 15amp 110v outlet ... you're looking at something like 20 to 30 hours to recharge it.
Statistics? Do you even know what the word means? Because I'm stating facts, not garbage I read in a catalogue. Moron.
ksearles85 3 months ago
@ksearles85 240v outlets are "incredibly high voltage"? The voltage that runs to your house is already 240v. In fact the outlet that you plug your dryer and air conditioner into is a 240v 30amp outlet and you can wire (or pay someone to wire) a 240v 50amp outlet in your garage. To be fair though it would be 50amps not 80amps like a charging station so the time would be more like 6-7hours for a full charge. Although that's from completely dry battery to a completely full battery.
squidvis 3 months ago
@ksearles85 Odds are though you wouldn't be draining your battery dry everyday so lets say you have a long commute and drive like 100miles a day. You would still have 145miles worth of charge on your battery so to charge from 145miles to 245miles would take about 3 hours.

All Inventions today are just a question of money. If people want it, they get it.
When People want electric cars to be affordable and WANT to buy them. There will be the money for scientists to build better batteries. Have a look at computer technology the last 20 years. People needed faster computers, they bought them, they wanted them. We got them. They said "we can't make it faster. Physics dont allow us!" And they did - again and again.

David Empringham is his neighbour (and a good friend) and their best recorded time to 62 is 3.6 seconds. Just because you read some BS stats somewhere doesn't make them true in real life.

@nielsboex actually it goes 245 miles. 394 in km. also you can quick charge it in 4 hours or less. not only that, EV's still have more potential, just wait for a battery breakthrough (which is already in progress) seeing as its the only thing holding them back. you can't say the same about the internal combustion....
falco2G 4 months ago
@falco2G
You're right but that's only if you're very careful with the accelerator. And the faster they charge, the faster you'll need to replace the battery. I think electric cars will be a LOT more expensive to repair and maintain. Also, I personally can't enjoy a silent sportscar, that's just the way I feel. If they manage to change all that I might change my mind about electric cars. The way electric cars are at this point in time, can you honestly say you'd want one ?
nielsboex 4 months ago
@nielsboex don't floor it and you should be ok. that doens't mean you have to drive like a grandma btw. I do have to say that for long trips, evs just don't cut it. and its probably true that quick charge is more likely to shorten the batteries lifespan. Most likely you'll have to pay $10,000 to replace the batteries in 10 years. However, most likely that's the only thing you will have to pay for since evs require minimal maintenance due to significantly less parts than an ICE.

@nielsboex as for the last question. I would only get one from tesla. Seeing how chevy used almost double the money to manufacture the poorly engineered volt, compared to tesla's soon to come model s, I trust GM even less now. As for the leaf, well... it looks funny. lol

@ToMmaDj In the end, I don't think Tesla themselves can win. They are only showing the way. The biggest victory that Tesla can hope for, is when Porsche themselves start producing electric sportscars in 10 or 20 years. Then Tesla's job will be done, and young kids today will grow up on electric cars knowing that Tesla led the way. If they didn't, no-one else would have.
