Oh man I want that car!

AH yes, Tesla motors. They make some really cool electric cars.... Expensive... but cool.

In lower Manhattan, in Battery Park City, there's a yuppyish kinda guy driving around in one of those. At first I saw it parked, then a bit after I see these cool xenon's glaring up ahead of me, and as the car approached I heard ZERO noise coming from the vehicle, other than the slight whine from the tires. It looked so impractical though. I'd rather have my E55 amg plowing along, taking on supercars with groceries in the trunk and my daughters fingerprints all on the back windows!!!

I'd rather have your bronco.

I'd rather go buy an e46 m3. Throw a stage 3 hpf turbo kit. Goodbye tesla. You know what, for that matter, Goodbye lamborghini, goodbye ferrari, goodbye audi.

At the risk of name dropping.,.... I walked past a Tesla showroom in Monaco the other day..... next time I go I will get photos and post them on your thread..... thanks for raising the awareness of these phenomenal cars....

PEACE,

I learned about this car about 4 years ago.I would love to have this car but still, i prefer trucks.If Ford made a truck that runs on electricity,looks nice,powerful and big, i would definitely buy it!

although i quite like it, its just a battery powered lotus elise. i saw it on top gear , turns out it weighs 5000 tons and keeps breaking down.

if im picking a plug in electric car id rather have a fisker karma

I like it! Its about time the atuo industry did something right with electric cars. Of corse there is the new Fisker Karma. that is another electric car you should check out. the Karma has built in exterior speakers where the exaust pipes would be to create extra noise to aid blind pedestrians. To me the new Karma looks kind of like a four door austin martin.

The external speakers on the Karma are located in the lower grille diamonds as it does have a 403bhp Fisker V8 petrol engine.

The petrol engine tops at 125 mph while the electic battery pack tops at only 95 mph.
