Test Driving the $110,000 All Electric Tesla Roadster Sports Car in West Seattle

[fctsui57]

Does Jay Leno has one??

[brian9827]

@fctsui57 im not sure if he owns one, but he has reviewed one. it was an roadster in "very orange". he does for sure have a chevy volt

[eronpino]

The future.gas sucks

[Mr90thunderbirdsc]

this is the only electric car i would want to get

[t8trg8tr]

I love how anyone who doesn't know anything about cars thinks that every exotic is a Ferrari.

[2000xlt]

10:41 be quiet i want to hear the car and wind noise road noise

[72mharris]

People are afraid of electric vehicles.

[Odinpiper]

Would love to own a Tesla.

[kelvinilla]

11:25 "Here we are on Fauntleroy in West Seattle on a Friday night in late August, 2010..." What is this car? A DeLorean? How many gigawatts?

[SuperMagnetizer]

Cool video. Thanks.

[sheepborg]

thought it was a ferrari? well im not watching this dumbass

[ottawadrummer]

Man, that's innovation! The message is loud and clear! People need to think outside of oil and respect alternative energy sources. I'd like to see a vehicle that is completely regenerative and doesn't require and external energy source after the initial charge, but I guess that'll come in time.

[AndreiMikhailovich]

Везет Вам!

[chuckaloz]

WTF thats a $100,000+ Porsche CAREERA 4S, this guy is a dumb-ass, the base Carrera is even more than $70,000 and the Carrera Turbo shits on this 0-60 3.5 seconds Turbo "S" does 2.7! dumb-ass!

[chuckaloz]

this doesnt outperform a carrera gt... and only goes like 125 mph or something so...

[FlamingLavaOwl]

I hope that someday in the future there will be electric cars like this that are affordable for most people.

[alexHG123]

@FlamingLavaOwl The model S is half the price and just as awesome. The future is near.

[gadgetmanjay]

tzero is faster and has more range but tesla is where its at. beautiful

[NormanStansfield1]

It really looks like crap. American taxpayer money has gone towards making this in Finland. I would rather have a little Lotus Exige.

[TecnamTwin]

Tesla has created one of the most exclusive cars in the world. Having one is like owning a Ferrari or Lamborghini. A fully optioned Roadster Sport can run $150k, but it's in the league with cars like the Audi R8 or Porsche 911 Turbo. Personally, I love the Audi R-8; but Porsches, though fast, are rather common.

The great inventor Porsche created the first in-wheel electric motor powered car. If he could see Porsche now with not a single electric car in their lineup, he would roll in his grave.

[bonnie90402]

@dimebag ...I just bought one (oh yeah!!!). I didn't buy it because I was trying to stop global warming (though that's a bonus). I bought it because it is FUN TO DRIVE. Oh lord, it's the most fun I've ever had driving a car. And I've had some high-performance cars in my life.

And get rid of the mullet. It's so 70s.

[DIMEBAGJIMMY426]

@bonnie90402 the mullet comment is funny "a bit overdone" but funny, although the mullet joke only really works when talking to someone with a camaro nowadays an really dont work with someone in there 20s =) and good for you were just two diffrent people for example if i had 100k to blow away id buy a big block mopar, you bought yourself a blown up rc car. isent it great to be an american

[a2234565]

@bonnie90402 i kno it doesnt make it any bettr but its a ponytail

[Kniitte]

there's a tesla place in seattle? since when? lol

[energiefreak]

im in love with that car.

thank you tesla.

[DIMEBAGJIMMY426]

cars like this are gunna be the demise of real cars such a shame and waste of money

[UnleashTehNoob]

@DIMEBAGJIMMY426 well, in a few decades or so, petro's going to run out anyways... Plus electric cars were actually originally favored over internal combustion. :P

[DIMEBAGJIMMY426]

@UnleashTehNoob, you can choose to believe the government lies about global warming and fuel crisis, but id rather pay out the ass to drive a classic american v8 and spit raw fuel out the exhaust then buy into these kind of shitboxes these things are just putting money into goverment officials pockets, like al gore. and takiing our rights to drive what we want.

[UnleashTehNoob]

@DIMEBAGJIMMY426 First of all, I could care less about what the U.S. Government says. Second; in what way does buying a Tesla (on your own terms) give any significant money to the government? Tesla uses low-interest government loans, and you get a *tax credit* for buying one. Third, like the guy says; most EV owners at the moment are enthusiasts. No one's forcing you to buy one. And fourth, global warming aside (personally, I think it exists, but is overhyped.), L.A./Linfen-style smog anyone?

[DIMEBAGJIMMY426]

@UnleashTehNoob i was talking about hybrid/electric cars really, everyone that has there hands in the global warming shit like al gore or any big names in politics that say global warming is a huge thing and blah blah make money when people buy in to all the stuff to stop global warming. like hybrid cars. and i dident watch the full video nor do i no much about the cars background. im a muscle car enthusiast so i cant stand these cars. i prefure not to make the rich richer (all just my opinion)

[14omega28ok]

@DIMEBAGJIMMY426 Awww, A wanna-be, I am from the Real south and own a Real V8 muscle car. and I still love this tesla. Its unusual and cheap. That will probably out run any stock camaro out there. This is actually a good high quality car. and I would prefer a All electric car then I would one of these new Mustangs. the way I look at it is either go Electric or go engine don't get stuck half ass in between. Your a fucking idiot. Greetings from the Boondocks of the south asshole

[DIMEBAGJIMMY426]

@14omega28ok how exactly am i a wanna-be ? i never said i was from the south im actually not sure why youd even make it a point to say your from the real south with a real muscle car as if it makes a difference. electric cars are STUPID thats my opinion, im fully aware that gas wont last forever but were does the charge come from to make that "cheap" $100,000 car go ? hydrogen cars are the future and that i look forward to because itll save gas for wanna-bes like me who prefure a v8

[14omega28ok]

@DIMEBAGJIMMY426 Real cars died out 40 years ago buddy. SO your comment here is false and just plain stupid

[DIMEBAGJIMMY426]

@14omega28ok and i know real cars died in 71, when i said real cars i meant cars with gas engines. i really dont care about this topic i said my opinion, i think electic cars are a fad just like the queer prius.

[14omega28ok]

@DIMEBAGJIMMY426 Why should they continue combining Gas engines and electronics together? Don't you think instead of getting stuck half way in between that they should just go entirely to one side? I don't get why your complaining because these new cars are the most unrealiable electronic pieces of shit ever to exist. I think to go all electric would be an improvement and if I want a real car buy my self a 1966 shelby Gt350. Pop the hood on a new car and think why are they still using these?

[DIMEBAGJIMMY426]

@14omega28ok when you put it like that you make a good point and i totally agree i hate that the new cars are basicly computers. BUT id rather put a 45 in my mouth then live in a world with out the sound of v8. because realisticly nobody drives muscle cars around anymore and my fear is that with all this all electric car shit the government will soon make it impossible to own muscle cars with taxes and all that sneaky crap our gov loves to do. ill take 412hp 2012 mustang over a battery anyday

[bmx5607]

[TheNameDoesntFi]
