Re: Coolest cars I see are at....

Cool? The Roadster is amazing. Ideally, this would be my SVX replacement car... but since I'm not made of $100k, not anytime soon.

Lucky to see one in person you are! I'm hoping to rent one in Chicago next year for a day or two and enjoy the hell out of some 0-60 3.2 second bursts!

Re: Coolest cars I see are at....

Had a chance to look at a tesla at a car show at our college. I missed out getting to ride in it, but some of the other faculty got to go for a ride and drive it. They said that it was funny to have so much power, but no real noise.

I don't think people buy them for their "utilitarian" features.

One of my good friends has one (as a 2nd car) and loves it. Who wouldn't? A high torque electric motor fitted to a modified Lotus... what more could you want for driving fun?

120? I don't know where you get that at as the average is 240 mile per drive with some hitting upwards of 280. The charge time may be slow but I think they have it down to 12 hours now... which is perfect for the next day riding.

A 100k car isn't something you exactly rack endless miles up on anyways but I could get by on an entire week with one charge and love it to death!

Besides, 98k is pocket change. lol

Re: Coolest cars I see are at....

Make one that can travel 6 miles twice a day, five days a week between charges, even with the heat on in 10*F weather with AWD and adjustable height suspension, and the parking lot at work would be a lot prettier over the winter. You know, if some obscene amount of money mysteriously found its way to me...
