Tesla Roadster

Tesla Motors unveiled their uber-chic Roadster, a powerful electric vehicle that looks, feels and drives like many other high-end sports cars Wednesday night. The main difference is the noise. Powered by a 3-phase, 4-pole AC induction motor, the Roadster can go 130 mph and does 0-60 in about 4 seconds, all completely silent. Awesome!

A1s19, this car doesn't use a tesla coil, Tesla is just a name of the car and the company, TeslaMotors. The next 100 cars built should cost around $100,000.00. Batteries used in the car are Lithium-ion.

I think this is a turning point in history. If the price of an electric car with this kind of performance drops down to where the average person can afford one, why would anyone want a gas powered vehicle, plus no more high priced gas :)

Maybe he was talking about Yen, not Dollars. Lol.

This is exactly my point. There's a prototype, but otherwise the car is currently unattainable. I'm just saying that the performance and range numbers are suspiciously rosy. The cost is also quite high. I still want to see more than one, and have the range and performance verified.
