The sedan, not so much.

The roadster on the other hand is pure titties.

The roadster performance is pretty sick, actually. Road and Track did a test drive on it a couple of years ago, and the review was very impressive. The only complaint, as I can sympathize with, is the lack of exhaust tone when getting on the gas. However, the linear torque right from 1 RPM of electric motors is pretty sweet. Something you will never achieve with internal combustion. Now if they will ever get the batteries a lot lighter, and get the mileage up on them, and make them resonably affordable, electric cars will be killer.

Electric motors are superior in every way to a gas engine. The only problem is the batteries. Even the best ones have such a low capacity that it's like driving a normal car with only a ten gallons gas tank.

I think Id miss the exhaust tone. I just dont think that whirring would do it for me. But id probably get over ti for a Tesla Roadster.

But like everything else technology... the prices will go down and the performance will go up one day soon.

I think they both look sick tbh. And i don't think the price tag is too rediculous... i mean if the everyday joe wants something economic there are options out there now.
