Jay Leno's Tesla Roadster

Jay Leno's collection of exotics just wouldn't be complete without this super car. With a range 220 miles per charge, a cost of 3 dollars per charge, 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, and instant torque at any speed the Tesla Roaster puts gasoline cars to shame.

How much do these cars cost?

[JustinBurns]

around 100 grand. not a very practical investment considering you have to replace the battery every 5 years which is most of the price tag. but tesla is working on a consumer sedan for much cheaper. but who knows if it will be practical anytime soon.

Jay Leno has some good taste in cars..and those little side jokes were kinda funny lol

[MrLivePositive8]

Does he really own A LOT of cars? How many? Where does he keep them?

"i buy cars like this so i don't have to play golf"- love it

@JustinBurns its still practical for a sports car, considering the batteries actually last about 10 years and they aren't most of the price the power electronics module is worth a lot of money and you are also paying for the performance capability of the car too. Then you also have to consider people have already tested it to be about $4-$7 to charge it from near dead compared to a typical gas car with a 12-15 gal tank costing $30-$40 so you save a shit ton of money on fuel.

Keep thinking your prius is gonna save the environment, It still burns petroleum and gets crappy gas mileage. I average 35mpg in my civic si (FA5), my uncle has a mini with the same k20 in it and he gets 50-60mpgs. In moderation burning fossil fuels is fine, its all a way for environmentalists to keep a job. Give me one environmentalists that has credentials to be perching this bull.

@JustinBurns Replacement Batteries are under $5000 (from Tesla), and its a 7-10 year warranty from Tesla. Not bad considering you dont need a mechanic to look at your car, just plug in a new motor or battery, around 5 min for a battery change and about a 20 for one motor. Its only gonna get better, Tesla cunt the price in half with a bigger car that goes further.

That just in five years, now everyone knows about Tesla, Even Toyota (New partner)

@khamvongsa09 lol particle

[DanFrederiksen]

[DanFrederiksen]

@angurisloud get that tattooed, otherwise you wont remember how stupid you were

[angurisloud]

A toy for the rich masquerading as the environmental solution for the rest of us...

[hondahp18]
