My brother in law has a Tesla for the weekend..

I'm impressed to say at least!
Have a small video in which he turns the car around. Unfortunately no inside video's and of the driving, but what an acceleration.



I do have a few picis taken,but the rest of the fun is located in my brain. Man, on my way home , my Audi diesel felt sluggish hahaha!

Ohh yeahh.. I said shhhhhh to my sister in the vid I was recording.

That's really weird no sound man... it'd do my head in that... a car with that pulling power with no sound... at some point we'll all have to get used to it with Hydrogen cars (not these silly battery ones)... but for now, a V8 rules. Have they improved the miles on a fill up on these? What ya get? Also, are these based on Lotus? They look very similar? Dont' knwo much about Tesla other than it seems to fall a little short on the claims?

[WeestDype]

I believe it was the Lotus designer who did the styling for it, but I could be wrong.

[OEMCHEAPSOFTDOWNLOAD]

The chassis is from a Lotus Elise if I am not mistaken..
Glued aluminium chassis parts.
Rest is carbon fiber or something like that
thing has it all:

full automatic 0-60 in under 4 seconds
airconditioning
softtop
full radio and navigation
but that's blah blah


I'll upload some pics tonight.. first I got to do some BF3 training and server setup for clan.

400 kilometers for €4? I want this thing to have my babies! NOW!

So what have they got the recharge time down to?
Seems to me that's the biggest drawback with electric vehicles - other than initial purchase price, of course.

Depends on your charger, like the old rechargeble batteries.
There's quick loaders and normal. I believe at normal (220v) it takes about 8 hours.


Driving on circuit, full power continiously the batt be empty or nearly at around 10mins.


Only car faster accelerating to 100km/ph is a Ferrari,, but this boy goes to 240 kp/h at once. No gears whatsoever, ****ingawesome! Not to mention it has traction control too hahahhaa

There are a fair amount on the roads out here. The Headquarters and main dealership is about 10 minutes south if where I live.

I've been driving electric for 4 years now.

And Tesla Roardster is not the only electric car available on the market.

It is the only cool one.

Holden Commodore V8's can get around 8L/100km (US 30mpg) or less on the highway. I'm thinking of getting one when I can afford it and getting a gas conversion installed.

EDIT: For comparisons sake I generally get around 7L/100km in my 4cyl 1992 Mazda 626.

Not really.

in 2020 80 percent of cars will be electric there is new awesume battery tech comeing soon.

that number is not realistic, when you consider the average life of a car and the required percentage of new vehicles being electric would be well above 100%

[car.insur]

i mean in the showroom

[Aluback]

I pay ****ing £50 a week for fuel just to get to work. I want an electric car already, preferably one that's powered from the heat of my ass on the seat.
