Tesla posted on their website that they are now shipping 4 per a week! Tesla
Now all we need is "clean" power plants to charge them up.

I like it.

I don't care if it runs on electrons.  It's badass.

I really thought it was another pipe dream.  I'm happy that they are now shipping.

I live in San Carlos (Tesla company headquarters)  I've seen these little sports car zoom around town now for over a year, they are super bad-ass in person.  All C/F and the take off like a bat outta hell!

from what they said, it's supposed to be more timid looking (read: traditional sedan) and cost around 50-60k

So they are real, and they're spectacular!
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

I'm vary stoked about these cars.


I wish I could afford one, but rich folks buying them will make electric cars more enticing to companies to produce...and eventually we all might be able to get one.

Funny you say that, cause Lotus is building them for Tesla, from my understanding.

Yep, they are based off the Elise.

I've been paying attention to this car for a while now, and with the problems they've been having (with the car and the company), it's good to see some cars finally roll out.
Nobody snuggles with Max Power. You strap yourself in and feel the Gs!
