Goodwood FOS 2008, Tesla Roadster Electric Car, up hill

[Nichen]

Man I love the music! And did you see the attention the Tesla got by the crowd? :)

[00samowen00]

It takes like 3 hours to charge. and it is limited on speed so that there is no road rage. and if u think of it logically as it i electric it is more efficient as it makes no noise so less energy is converted into other types of enrgy

[JUKIO01]

this car is alright, only thing is that it can only go like 220 miles like you said, and im sure it takes a long time to charge. im sure there are better ways to power a car, this is ok, but its not very ifficient

[Gollywog]

It's alot more efficient then todays engines. Thats for sure!

[daveb0789]

Ummm, this vehicle has super car acceleration - 0 to 60 in 4 seconds. Most conventionally fueled cars in this performance bracket have a similar range due to their huge thirst.

[JUKIO01]

well, your right about that, electric has huge torque, but electric cars are no as efficient as gas powered cars... yet.

[SOPM2007]

That is... simply not true.

[ZenonDorinPower]

you're wrong JUKIO01, electric cars have a shorter autonomy than conventional cars but they are far more efficient than internal combustion ones. the efficienty= output energy (the energy which only powers the car) / intput energy (all energy you put in the car- gasoline,diesel,electricity) so input energy-output energy=loss of energy,most of it,heat,friction,noise

[00samowen00]

maybe. Tesla have taken it t the next level. The top speed and acceleration is impressive. This car is well worth the money. Any one would be privileged to have this car

[waltermh111]

cannot wait to get my hands on an all electric. i love the prius over conventional cars, and this one can only be better.

hopefully they will release one with similar milage to this one for 30k at most within the next 5 years
