Like its platform cousin, the Lotus Elise, the Tesla feels at home on twisty roads. The chassis is very taut and communicates exactly what those tire patches are doing right up through the steering wheel. On our test drive around Pebble Beach, California it was like driving a big electric go-kart. Who knew saving the planet could be this much fun?
Bring on the future! ::Ton5::

But the Tesla plays its own tune and it’s a futuristically cool one.

The wheels have to go, and the seats look a little odd to me, but the body is gorgeous. I detect no catfish whatsoever.
Looks like a Ferrari and a Honda Del Sol had a kid.
Or perhaps what the Honda Del Sol would have looked like if Honda had even an ounce of creativity. ;)Quote:

Please don't encourage Honda to get creative. We all know what can happen...Quote:

I'm more concerned with what stirs when I mash my right foot... and at under 4 seconds 0-60... I'm expecting a lot of stirrings.Quote:

I believe the price listed is for the hand built prototype. I would assume the production car cost would be much less. :confused:Quote:

Ok... sounds fun but for that price I'd rather get an Elise for fun and an M3 for a daily driver. ;)Quote:
