Goodwood FOS 2008, Tesla Roadster Electric Car, up hill

This video demonstrates the full capabilities of an electric car.It goes 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. it has 13,000 rpm redline. 256 mpg equivalent. It has a 220 mile rage from a fully charged battery. It cost's on average 1p per mile.

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

[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

[Gollywog]

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

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

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

That is... simply not true.

[JUKIO01]

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

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.

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

[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
