Lol are you just window shopping, or you really thinking of buying a tesla? Did you win the lottery or something? I got a new Honda Del Sol btw and I sold my old one. The new one is a 97 model with a b16a2 engine and a manual transmission, has abs and an airbag too. Old one was a 92 with a d14 and an automatic transmission. I would not buy a tesla just because not enough luggage space, if I was gonna get an electric car I'd get that mitsubishi thing.

@Cdogbillionaire Just Window Shopping If it was not 150K I might Think about it But For That I could do a lot to me Del Sol - Charles

I think if you wait a few years electric vehicles will go down in price significantly. That mitsubishi imiev looks like a good practical city car. I wouldn't mind owning one, don't know where I'd charge it though.

@crcooktube There is actually a guy who converted his del sol to be an electric vehicle. Unfortunately the whole boot and engine space was taken up with batteries. No room for luggage. I could not drive any other 2 seater car apart from the del sol, none of them have enough space for luggage, which is what makes it practical for me. I think he's in California. My new Del Sol is teal green it's good even though the dealer ripped me off :( Was not a bright idea to buy an del sol with auto trans
