Have you seen this?

I started another thread about this somewhere on the forum, but saw thisw articlae this morning. Have you seen this car?

I wonder if you have to put in a CD with engine noise to get the satisfaction of hearing a gas engine revving.

Just imagine $500+ per month of electric bills. It would make running your homes A/C all day look cheap.

The RONI? If it was a Japanese car, would that be a RICE-a-RONI? What the hell IS a RONI?

The telsa has been around for quite a long time now, i remember back in eight grade(im 17) seeing it become popular when it bested a 360 mondena, the time in between was making it cheap enough to cost 100K or less. Back when they made the first prototype it was much more expensive.

Electrics will surpass any gas cars performance eventually, at least in the short run, I think. They make all of their torque immediately at 0 rpm and they can spin faster than superbike motors with enough voltage. A torquey high RPM screamer is the perfect performance car, now they just need to work on those batteries(range, charge time, and wieght.)
