The Tesla Roadster driven at an owners event. The Tesla Roadster is an all electric sports car with a 0-60 time of 3.9 and a range of 245 miles. Video was taken in the LA area at closed airport runway. Be sure to turn the sound up...the car sounds like no other car you have ever heard. Please feel free to comment if you wish.

does it have radio? lol

[newdl84]

@TRuAtlAntA Yes, Nav, Heated Seats, AC, Airbags, and a 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds.

@SpartakuZ19 By saying i "suck balls" because my opinion differs to yours, your point is no longer valid. Well done, you've just made any Hydrogen, Ev and Compressed Air fan/user look a complete dick.

I'm sorry if i insulted your ego by having a realistic view of a product, you pathetic little creature.

@Thingamajigs Do pedestrians not get hit by cars now? Will it be a new issue when EVs are more popular?

Moden cars are not LOUD. In fact, at idle or slight more their sound is barley audible. Why not be concerned with those cars...of which there are millions...

turning the lights on on the Roadster is the equivalent to powering an LED... you will never notice a difference in range.

which side is the gas tank on?

@newdl84 I don't have to drive one. I've have taken physics1 and 2, as well as chemistry enough to understand how electrons behave under certain conditions.

[Hirotoro4692]

@rayamanelly Well the latest Tesla has pretty decent range and its still more efficient than an ICE. Some ICE sports cars driven like this can go dry in less than 40 miles!

will there be a app called "iLoad my Tesla" instead of a petroleum reserve =D

[DrFruikenstein]

I hear people complain about the lack of sound from electric cars all the time. Personally, I think the sound of an AC electric motor under heavy load is awesome. There's nothing like the sound of what sounds like a turbine engine winding up 5 times quicker than any turbine can hope to. I also consider that my last two gas cars are quieter at 5 mph than the last electric car I was in. Though I don't find it necessary, I figure that a noise requirement for EVs will be law in the next 5 years.

EXCELENTE... LO ÚNICO MALO DEBE SER EL EXAGERADO COSTO DE ESE VEHÍCULO!..

@newdl84 I'm pretty sure the Prius emits a beeping sound for the blind people when it's not using the gas engine, so this will probably be required for all EV's as well. BUT, you should always be paying attention to whats going on around you especially when near a road or crossing a street. You should see the car coming if you don't hear it.

Looks very nice, drives nice too (i think) but i really miss the sound of the engine and i dont think it has any "gears" right? Then i ll be missing that too.

i ll stick to my S2000.

@Thingamajigs good points

@seahorse1945

No problem to be stucked in the traffic jam : if you don't use the engine, you don't use the battery so you could wait hours and hours in the jam ;-)

Nevertheless, i'm concerned with the decreasing of the battery power after the early years. All the batteries loose their potential while time goes on.
