Tesla Roadster Sport unveiled

Did you really just work "I've been practicing karate" into a post? sigh. *shakes head*

That and they are incredibly expensive. I wouldn't want to replace a battery of that size out or warranty. Ouch!

It's a nice step forward in showing the viability of electric vehicles in newer segments, but...

I certainly won't be trading away my Exige for one anytime soon.

Range is too poor for it to be anything but a track day car. Problem is you will need a car with a normal internal combustion engine to trailer it to the track - defeats the purpose really!! Also, the power for your Tesla will probably come from a very polluting coal fired power station if you live in the Uk like me!!

However - it is pioneering and the technology will get better over time (just look at other technology sectors like MP3 for example) but I would leave it to the early adopters for now (i.e. fools with more money than sense).

And for the record - many people in Belgium speak French instead of Flemish Depends where you go. ;-)

oh give me a break. It has more than enough daily driving range for 90% of people who own a car. What it isn't suitable for is road trips or people with *very* long commutes.

Also, though I'm no proponent of coal, a coal plant pollutes significantly less per unit of energy produced than does a gasoline engine. It's also much easier to add pollution control equipment to one large energy plant than millions of gasoline engines.

I've seen the price tag on this one....not worth it (based on the design)
