Actually tesla replied to that test by top gear saying it was all staged and the tesla didnt fall below 20% power. Also, they said top gear was never without a car because they fully charge in 3-4 hours. and the brake failure was actually a blown fuse that they fixed in a couple of minutes. so top gear never actually experienced the problems they said they did We want this car! I watched several videos of the Roadster that Tesla already has out and I was really impressed. I like the fact that Electric Vehicles are near silent, good for sneaking up on people or driving through populated areas late at night! I also like that all of the torque is available from '0' RPM. I have to be honest and say that I admire Tesla Motor Cars inventiveness and creativity. Chrysler, Ford, GM, etc. have had Billions of dollars to play with to develop cars and only GM has managed so far to come up with the VOLT. Seriously, if Tesla can be this inventive and daring (who knows will these things sell in volume), then what are the other guys doing? Sitting on their hands? I agree range without charging is a problem, but hey technology will get better if people start working on it, and anyway my car doesn't go forever if I forget to fill up with Gas.
The Tesla Roadster Sport will be introduced to the public in June after orders for the electric sports car opened today. Starting at $128,500 in the US and €112,000 (excluding VAT) in Europe, the Tesla Roadster Sport features improved suspension with adjustable dampers and anti-roll bars. The driver can adjust the suspension to their own liking.
Performance times for the car are said to be 3.7 seconds for the 0 to 60 mph dash while the engine revs at up to 14,000rpm. The car delivers zero emissions from its all-electric powertrain, placing the environment high up on its list of priorities. Tesla has delivered over 150 examples of the Roadster, but with a waiting list of over 1,100 many could move over to the Roadster S.
