Saw a Tesla today...

This morning on my way to the office dowtown I saw a Tesla parked on the street. I thought it was a Lotus of some sort - looks pretty similar from the rear I thought. My first impression was that it was hot and that I would have a lot of trouble getting into the front seat (or any seat for that matter), and I'm only 6'2''... the styling is very impressive though - would have loved to see it take off silently...

If it's the same one I've seen in Denver, it's driven by a hot blonde woman.

It is a repurposed Lotus Elise.

The car I saw was burgundy metalic... beautiful. I kind of couldn't get my eyes off of it... It was around 17th Street and Larimer by Xcel Energy's building.

I saw it late at night parked on 6th Ave near the Esquire Theatre. It was a dark color but I couldn't be any more specific than that.
