"Let the future tell the truth and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine"
Dear Tesla. I've been watching your company since it began. It was fascinating to see the car go from a dream to reality. But then you shit on my dreams and let BP oil become one of your financiers. How could you let those dirty fucks get their hands down your pants? BP oil will no doubt gloat of how they will be a front runner in "saving the planet". It would of been sweet if you could of kept creeps like that out of your business.
does Nikola Tesla have anything to do with this car? just curious...well this Tesla Roadster is much better and more efficient than that overpriced BMW i8 car whcih will only be mass produced in 2014 anyway. this car seems to be ahead of its time, and it looks great too for an affordable price tag. electric cars are the future and this is one step in that direction, good job Tesla Motors
@NewToTheLyte I'm sure that Nikola Tesla had a car that ran on electricity, could go over 100 miles without being recharged, had top speed of aprox. 70 mph and a black box which was the engine for it and was no bigger than your or mine PC....And all of that in the early beginning of 20th century...so my guess is that he would actually be kinda disappointed?
@c53204 true a Roadster could never compete with a Ferrari or Lamborghini but can you expect a electric motor to run as fast or be as goodas a gas motor? The focus has been on gas motors ever since they were invented so there were far less intrest, time, money, and research on electric motors
Since I knew this car I thought EVs were boring and shit. Now I know it is possible to drive a great EV. If I had the money, I would udoubtedly buy one instead of, for example, a Porsche
All the people against electric cars seem to forget all the energy used (produced by those same fossil fuel burning power plants) to create gasoline from raw crude. Also let us not forget about all the fuel (also the energy to create that fuel) and energy used to extract crude from the ground.
I actually own a Tesla Roadster and I can honestly tell you it is a very unreliable car. Seems strange that such a mechanically simple car can be so problematic. The electric motors over heat very quickly and the very basic transmission always breaks. If you want to be green but have something fun to drive, buy a Nissan Leaf, I also own one and its great, reliable, and fun to drive.
Kudos to the chumps at Tesla for taking the petty route, bringing a suit against Top Gear for what THEY consider libel. The most ironic part is that this ridiculous accusation demeans their name more than Top Gear ever could have. Google "Tesla Top Gear libel" and find Top Gear's response for the real story
With the advent of the electric car (again!) we are only that much closer to electricity generated on board while in route and no need for charging stations. The technology is simple and available but the politics and economics are daunting. See Nicola Tesla 1931 Packard Pierce Arrow. The technology has been suppressed for over a hundred years.

Charging up the batteries won't save a damn thing in the environment esp. if it plug into the grid which it get the energy from fossil fuel and nuclear power plants.
@RichKilla86ers First of all even when the car is used in a country heavily reliant on coal as a power source it still has a lower carbon footprint than a conventional ICE vehicle, plus many countries are putting a greater interest in alternate non-polluting power sources. Also nuclear power plants don't produce carbon dioxide..
@petbedding01 but...in case a natural disaster struck esp. an mega earthquake, the nuclear plant will be damage, just like Fukushima, spilling out radiation. Plus, charging the Tesla is a challenge bcuz there are only limited charging stations.
@RichKilla86ers That is true. But when gasoline cars were first introduced people used to buy fuel from chemists due to the lack of filling stations.. My point being its only a matter of time before the electric car becomes the more practical option.
I saw one of these on the road today. While they're interesting looking cars it sort of ends there for me. Even if this car isn't out of my price range I still don't quite understand the whole electric car theory... I don't by gas at the station down the street, instead I used electricity created by a power plant, which predominantly burns fossil fuels.That's genius!
@YDsixstring Well, you have a point with the powerplants. I won't deny that but you could also have some turbines or solar panels on the roof of your home to reduce or eliminate consumption of non-renewable resources, directly(gasoline/diesel engine) or indirectly(power plants)
I really like the concept and the car, but 100k+ really? I could emit co2 in a subaru or mitsubishi for 10+ years, and by the time you almost see the electric car become more cost effective, the battery needs to be replaced.
@OtherVincentLee The Tesla Roadster was created to show that electric cars weren't hopeless as sports cars. The car is based off of the Lotus Elise and is made entirely out of carbon fiber... it's really meant to compete with economy cars, but with other exotic roadsters.
@ELONMUSK@FOXNEWS@MSNBC Tesla Room #3327 because Earthquake Machine No. 3 was the Knob Hill Apparatus in Colorado Springs which caused the 27 day long 1899 Alaskan Earthquakes commencing on September 3, 1899 at 3h03m27s or 3:03:27 pm epicenter time. That was a year divisible by 3 times 3, a month divisible by 3 times 3, a day divisible by 3, in an hour divisible by 3, a minute divisible by 3, a second divisible by 3 times 3 times 3 days & for Christ's sake it was Earthquake Milne Shide No. 333
They can cut away that that 2 - 8 have your waiting Car charging times
But instead making a HOT SWAPPABLE Battery
That you swap out of your battery Charging station that your home
So you have a battery at home charging,... your car has a battery your using. It runs low, you swing by your house, swap out your battery from the charger, and your off no waiting 3 - 8 hours
Also they can make the home chargers more cost effective because it focuses on charging the battery well, instead of fast
@rfry this is a car not a computer hard drive. Besides the battery or Energy Storage System or ESS cost USD$36,000. Thinking twice about having another? Anyways after 10 years you need a new one anyways, regardless. For 36k I could buy another brand new subaru wrx sti tricked out.
why dont we put 3 tesla motors in a big rig and cover the trailer with solar panels? am i the only one grossed out when a big rig farts black smoke at an intersection? and maybe do the same thing to buses and trains and RV's. the sun is out for the busiest parts of the day, we should milk it.
@cwwiss1 Problem with that is that you need a hell of a lot of hydrogen to do that and the car needs to be serviced more often and be fitted with custom parts because hydrogen is more energetic than petrol.
Although I do like the idea of running my car on hydrogen you are going to get more horse power out of it.
electric cars will only really 'arrive' when someone designs a car where the batteries can be changed in about a minute and a 'garage' that will sell you a charged one for your uncharged one...simples
True Free energy devices exist,But the Oil coporations life depends on covering this up,Get a motor that works with the power of magnets only at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,take part in the revolution!
The Tesla Roadster is 1) a Supercar. Compare it to Ferrari, not Ford Focus
2) Revolutionary. They had this in 2003! YEARS before the Volt, or Leaf (and better than either). So, is it cheap? Wrong question. Is it worth it? Damn right.
BTW- they ARE working on a $30k family 4-door sedan in about 1 year. Save up for that one.
@drewga403 that would be awesome give the tesla 4 doors, non convertible sell it for 30k. I bet ya my life they will OUTSELL every car company combined, due to raising gas prices. HAHA battery stations are gonna be the BEST
@drewga403 "If you only knew the Magnificence of the 3, 6 & 9; then you would have a key to the universe." -Nikola Tesla dead six months before U.S. Supreme Court Decision No. 369 in 1943 is Nikola Tesla proving to you faster than light communication was THE INVENTION that "invented" the rest. Nikola Tesla stole the world like a thief in the night. -Biblical Prophet
@drewga403 Electric cars existed over a hundred years ago and before any internal combustion car did.
In a gas powered supercar I can drive from Paris to Moscow - on any road I chose. Try that with a Tesla. If the Tesla is comparable to a Ferrari, why don't we see them racing next to Ferraris on tracks every weekend all around the globe?
I own an EV - they are not yet a replacement for conventional cars and certainly not a match for any supercar.
@c53204 Look up team green endurance. 26,000km in an EV. It's getting there. Charging will eventually be as quick as filling up with petrol - the technology already exists to do this with Lithium ion batteries, it just needs developing into a commercial product.
Belive it or not Free energy is real,But the Oil companies want these technologies unknown to the masses,Get a motor that needs no gas or electric input at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,take part in the revolution!
1-Although the power and acceleration might be exciting with a reasonable engine, I think the driving itself is rather boring. No sound, no shifting, boring powerband.
2 - Right from the very first second you drive this car, your battery loses power. Your vehicle's performance decreases from day one, whereas with a combustion engine it even increases over a certain period - also you have the same power with a full thank than with an almost empty one.
I think I like the Con-Ed car better, zero to zero in zero seconds!!! now that's fast !! I think George Clooney has orders in for 2 @ 1.7 million each, cheap by Hollywood standards.
Wow. I googled that earhquake. Very few results about 3/9/1899, one of them in your blog, about 2012 world ending, now I understand what kind of dumbass was I argueing with. As a scientist I have the obligation to prevent people believing stupidities of the magnitude of those you say, but unfortunately, I can't do this on youtube. It really gets on my nerves having to see people trust in swindlers like you, but I can do nothing about it.
Luckily many of you will disappear (I hope) in 2013. Cya
@elrefugiodelachota I didn't say shit about 2012. Shut your mouth. Do the math. Go from my channel website is THE U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 69. by Tarr and Martin (Published 1912) Earthquake British Association Record No. 333, No. 337 & No. 338.
@elrefugiodelachota don't bother debating with people like this, you're only fueling them. anyone who has half a brain knows tesla was a genius in his own right and made some amazing discoveries. but he was also known to be quite deranged at times, he was the definition of a "mad scientist". he had as many failures as triumphs, like all great scientists do. the other general info out there about him is jumbled, hacked to pieces, & questionably referenced, thanks to people like insightllc.
@insightllc nobody cares what you think tesla did. bitch. get over it. what? go post that on some conspiracy theory blog, where people actually give a fuck about why your pussy is getting so wet. oh really? did tesla make an earthquake machine? no one fucking cares. get over it.
@whyhatestrangers It was the first weapon of mass destruction. It was hidden from you to sell you gas for over a century. It very much so pertains to topic. Tesla made earthquakes. Take it to the bank. Bet the farm. I am not wrong.
I can see most comments here are made by clowns and esoteric talkers, and they even rank their quotes first.
It's a real shame people can't separate Tesla's stupidities from the real science he did, like we do with Sir Isaac Newton (or does someone believe in the phylosopher stone?).
@elrefugiodelachota I'll lower case it for you... 1896 Sanriku earthquake was caused by Nikola Tesla's first Earthquake Machine (EM), The Gillender Building generating the worst tsunami in Japanese history, destroying about 9,000 homes and causing at least 22,066 deaths. The 7.2 magnitude event occurred at 19:32 (local time) on June 15, 1896. The magnitude of the tsunami (Mt = 8.2) was much greater than expected for the estimated seismic magnitude and this earthquake named Tsunami Earthquakes.
@insightllc Don't try to talk me out with stories for children. I'm a geophysicist, and I know what am I talking about.
If you want to read further ideas about the pseudocientifics theories of aritificial earthquakes, read the EU paper about HAARP project and the replies it recieved from the scientific comunity.
@insightllc The idea of hitting "key spots" with and electromagnetic wave of apropiate frequency CAN'T generate earthwakes, because from the very begging, it's impossible to predict where those keyspots are and even if we knew (which would require a new earth-mechanics model and tons on new data) the resonance frequency of the litosphere it would still be unknow accurately (the only way is to dig and get a sample, and our digging skills aren't enough if we want to get a rock that it's -60km msl)
@elrefugiodelachota June 15th 1896. The Gillender Building in Lower Manhattan to Japan on a day Divisible by three... in a month divisible by three... in a year divisible by three. Read Tesla's Autobiography. Your science is pseudo and i'll prove it right here and now...
@insightllc I didn't know I could use Tesla's Autobiography to prove theories. Then in that case, I'm sorry for my ignorance.
Sure what's more likely, an earthqueake on a day with 1/9 probability (about 11%) or that Tesla's reinvented the entire physics and a hundred years later, we haven't figured it out yet. On top of that, Tesla's wasn't a friend with quantum mechanics, which can't be ignored in the experiment Tesla's thought.
I'm not gonna keep arguing in the internet. See you.
@elrefugiodelachota nOW WE TAKE YOUR FIGURES ONE STEP FURTHER. Tunguska June 30, 1908. Day divisible by three... in a month divisible by three... in a year divisible by three. Actually yes. Tesla in fact did leave the "keys" to the universe in his autobiography as well as U.S. Geological Survey 069 Published 1912 by Tarr & Martin. The Eathquakes at Yakutat Bay. Geophysicists are liars.
@elrefugiodelachota Geophysicist Pwnage. Tesla made earthquakes bitches. Who wants some? You? Any more Geophysicists want to step up. Elon? Elon Musk step up! Tesla made earthquakes
@elrefugiodelachota On September 3, 1899 from Knob Hill in Colorado Springs to Yakutat Bay a 27 Day event with world record 47 foot uplift, tsunami, volcanoes, avalanches and non stop earthquakes starting on a day divisible by three... in a month divisible by three... in a year divisible by three... Earthquake John "Earthquake" Milne No. 333 on September 3 at 3:03 p.m. epicenter time in 1899 in an hour divisible by 3... on a minute divisible by 3... EARTHQUAKE NO. 333! Geophysicists are liars.
@teslaroadster The Manhattan Project was named after an 1898 Manhattan Earthquake "Man Made" by Nikola Tesla in Trinity, New York. -Tesla made earthquakes then Tunguska.
@TESLAMOTORS EARTHQUAKE British Association Record No. 333 on September 3 at 3:03 pm epicenter time in 1899. 3h 03m 27s - 3h 03m 28s (THAT IS WHY NIKOLA TESLA DIED IN ROOM #3327 - #3328 at the Hotel New Yorker. That is why he hinted the "THREE". That is why he did not win his Nobel Peace Prize. THIS IS WHY THE INTERNET WILL WIN THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE... -Tesla made earthquakes in 1899
>$100k accelerates like a sumnabitsch. Handles like a big boat and breaks a lot. Just like Amtrack, probably can't survive without government subsidies. meh.
@teslamotors The SAME day I was born or I would have never been told on my Grandpa's deathbed. Contemplate HONESTY DELIVERED TO THE MASSES WITH A SINGLE GOOGLE DOODLE...then... The last page of the Colorado Springs Notes... the letter to his "Brethren" that he hid the biggest footprint of mankind with the biggest feign of all time by making a world look the other way... not at the ground that was waving but up at Mars. 1... 2... 3... The 3, 6 & 9 are divisible by 1... 2... 3...and its... 3 3 3
@elonmusk Do you even know why he made the quote so historic? I do. To mock somebody he hated worse than Edison. His bane, the charlatan John Keely said that the 3, 6 & 9 were powerful. The pitchman, the Billy Mays of his day selling snake oil to what would have been six figure Tesla investors. He was a circus carny scam artist that soiled Tesla's accomplishments with scam sales in Millions for perpetual motion machines. Tesla grandstanded on his grave the year he died on the day he was born
The emissions released by the tesla by the means of electrical plants translated into MPG is equivalent to like 102 MPG when driven lightly. Thats pretty sweet if you ask me.
@vegano1 The same reason he walked around a building 3 times before entering... IN FRONT OF PRESS OF COURSE... it is also why he insisted on a room upon arriving in Colorado Springs divisible by three... it is the same reason he spent his last ten years and died in Room 3327 - 3328 at the Hotel New Yorker... IT IS ALSO WHY HE'S NOT IN YOUR TEXTBOOKS... AND AMONG MANY OTHER THINGS IT IS THE KEY TO THE UNIVERSE AS WELL... you want the truth? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH...
@vegano1 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 im front of media and could only hint that he was behind the Scottish Rite 33rd degree. Earthquake British Association No. 333 on Sept. 3 at 3:03 p.,m. epicenter time 1899.
electricity is not the solution if it's not reduced to the minimal consumption.
renewable sources are not enough for all needs (industry, homes...).
it's clear that USA are the first producer of pollution in the world and that they have to change a part of their way of life. i don't know what could be the solution. does the one exist ?
so : in this context and compared to european car producers like Porsche, Ferrari, etc... Tesla is still a good alternative. Go on ! But stay aware...
@TheDrLivingstone (part 1) I read your comment, and still didn t find a reason why not to buy this car...I suggest seeing "who killed the electric car". it is at this point clear to any human being using his brain unit, that there is the technology to make cars electric, and reduce amasingly the power generator's addiction to oil. thus, virtually eliminating pollution. can you even compare the pollution by oil and chemicals of a normal car during its lifetime
@VonHelton with todays oil prices, they make a fortune out of you every day...why would they give you a cheap electric car? I m just saying that the technology exists....the rest is up to our reaction
@TheDrLivingstone (part 2) to that of one or two electric batteries that are used in an electric cars lifetime? I can assure you that an electric cars battery can at this time easily exceed by far these 7 years you mentioned. and that's only using today's (or rather, yesterday's) technology. CO2 produced during the building of a car? well, I can only assume that both electric and normal cars have that, so its is a question of how much CO2 is produced in the rest 15 years of a cars lifetime
ecology ? CO2 is not only produced during the use, but also during the building. all kind of cars are concerned. but there is a specific point : the batteries with highly toxic components, and wich must be changed (and recycled if they can be) every 7 years. and for how much money ? and, finally : if you change the millions of cars into electric propulsion, how many megawatts do we have to produce ? how many final radioactive garbage from the nuclear generators ?
I invented a breakthrough energy source that contradicts the law of energy conservation. I have a PROOF that there are electrodynamic phenomena that contradict the law of energy conservation. I am looking for $300 000 for a prototype and for $3M for patents. Making a 6 kW generator will cost $1200 in mass production, value of energy produced yearly $5400.
It´s incredible and an irony if I think about "Tesla" as a trademark. NIkola Tesla died without a single coin in his pocket and pass away with just a coat on.
Nowadays, we talk about green life, save the planet and all that, but history is written by all those who organize and decide about other people life, such as the governments. So, Tesla talked about this 90 years ago, but it was more convenient to burn fuel. This is not a big step for humankind. In that case, it´s a late step.
the tesla compony would be a little richer if they made luxery cars like mecedes benz and bmw think of it everbody would ditch their prius's and maby lexus cars and any other cars that are hybrids because i would like to buy one these pimp cars a little earlier and they should also make just some averge joe cars and i think this car should be in the next need for speed game and this car should be known a little better i didnent know this car existed with out my friend chilton told me
Search for Tesla Scooter. We are young inventors from Macedonia and we did something similar to the Roadster but on a scooter. We converted the gasoline scooter into a electric scooter with a 6 pole 3 phase AC motor. And now its even more powerful than the one on the video, has more batteries. We are in need of an investor. P.M. me if interested. BTW... we had an invitation from Tesla motors to work for them, but we refused because USA is too far and our life doesn't suck that bad. :)))
how long does the battery last? I mean until you cant recharge it anymore like how you cant charge the battery we currently use to start the modern car when it gets rusty.
the cool thing about electric transportation is with a gass powered vehicle you need to wait for the power to build up until your at that certain speed but with the electric vehicles all the power is already there you just have to apply it i guess... lol
@18CaStRaDoMiS89 if all the pals that pay $100.000 for a car, bought this one, it would be significantly cheaper by now...it still looks hot, it will certainly get you laid (and over a larger target group, including enviromental chicks) and it is fast...I dont know about you, but if you ask me, thats my dream car right there
@18CaStRaDoMiS89 They have to make it pricey at first because they can't mass produce these very well yet, and need as much money as they can get to develop new models.
Only the body and chassis are manufactured by Lotus. Everything else is made in California!

So you have a battery at home charging,... your car has a battery your using. It runs low, you swing by your house, swap out your battery from the charger, and your off no waiting 3 - 8 hours
Also they can make the home chargers more cost effective because it focuses on charging the battery well, instead of fast

electric cars have a place in the future but I think the real answer of really 'green' cars
is the Hydrogen gas car .It doesn't have to be expensive if the Hydrogen is produced by solar and wind,wave and thermal power from water.
The Tesla is a rich mans toy..it's not THE answer..or anything like it.
It reminds me of the steam car..it did the job but we found a better way.

@cwwiss1 Problem with that is that you need a hell of a lot of hydrogen to do that and the car needs to be serviced more often and be fitted with custom parts because hydrogen is more energetic than petrol.

Two thoughts about electro-power:
1-Although the power and acceleration might be exciting with a reasonable engine, I think the driving itself is rather boring. No sound, no shifting, boring powerband.
2 - Right from the very first second you drive this car, your battery loses power. Your vehicle's performance decreases from day one, whereas with a combustion engine it even increases over a certain period - also you have the same power with a full thank than with an almost empty one.

The 7.2 magnitude event occurred at 19:32 (local time) on June 15, 1896. The magnitude of the tsunami (Mt = 8.2) was much greater than expected for the estimated seismic magnitude and this earthquake named Tsunami Earthquakes.
