Uploaded 14 years ago by leftlanenews

Video Summary

- The Tesla is about the numbers, such as 200 miles of range from almost 7,000 lithium-ion batteries.
- The car accelerates from 0 to 60 in 3.7 seconds.
- Over 1,200 cars have already been sold.
- It's lightning fast, does not burn any gasoline and does capture attention.
- Performance is great on the open road.
- The Tesla is made for the urban grind and comfortable in stop and go traffic.
- One issue is that drivers switch from standard, performance, and maximum range modes by touching a screen; a giant aluminum handle that you could pull out and twist would be more satisfying.
- Cornering is okay.
- It's a better car than a Lotus Elise, because it has instant torque from its electric motor, futuristic styling, and a futuristic interior.
- It feels post-modern.
- The car is expensive.
- It is easy to help the environment and be smug with your neighbors, while driving this car.
- Overall it is a completely different type of performance car.
