Pontius Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 http://www.teslamotors.com/index.php If anyone is offering, I'll accept a Tesla Roadster - or the new Tesla due out in 2010. I wonder when the first one will appear on the island - or is there one here already? Now THAT would test Stu Peters petrol-head loyalties!

BigDave Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Didn't Clarkson test one of those Teslas and found that the claimed range is a little on the optimistic side? iirc it did about 60 miles per 14 hour charge if you hammer it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempus Fugit Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 filled up last night, must have saved at least ............ 84p I think recent developments in battery technology and recharge times will make a big impact on things electric, wonder how long until they get into production Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ermo Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Not sure I'd believe a single word out of Clarksons mouth... I mean top gear is nothing but petrol head propaganda masquerading as an 'informative' motor based chat show & he's just parroting the same OLD anti-EV, Pro-Oil bollox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Its not just Clarkson though. The Tesla is a serious bit of kit, but as everyone who's tested one has found out, if you drive it in the way their marketing suggests (ie sporty, sub 4 second 0-60 etc) the range is pants.

monasqueen Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 filled up last night, must have saved at least ............ 84p I was told today that the official time for the change of price is 5pm today. Certain petrol stations have already put their prices up, and strangely, the prices appear to have gone up by 3p, not 2p. Total stations this morning were selling unleaded at 97.9 per litre, while Shell was selling at 100.9. Is there some profiteering going on?
