Default Tesla Motors, Fast in the Future

Im in SOCAL right now, and they advertise this new car company coming in LA in Spring 08. The company is called Tesla Motors and they are making 100% electric sports cars, and I think they look hot, not to mention fast.

Input...... check out this link www.teslamotors.com

It is a Lotus chassis coverted to electric drive. And for a measly 100k it can be yours. They will even let you pick the color.

Oh WOW, this news is old
Definately a cool car though. Have you seen the other one that looks like a plane without the wings? Not a Tesla but still decent performance for an electric car.
