The Tesla Roadster looks pretty good.

Have you heard the sound of the Tesla electric motor? I think it sounds pretty cool.

There has to be more to you, your followers and other leaders on this forum than begrudging comments directed towards me disguised as insults.

Sod off.

There you go, something that's not at all disguised- is that better?

Stop acting like a berk then.

Simple problem, simple solution.

You suck.

There. That was a thinly-disguised insult.

[The_Canuck]

Just ignore him, he wants attention...

[kingofthering]

I just wanted to vent my rage at someone.

[Pando]

Your rage sure is terrifying.

Gtface and nota, cheers for making a couple posts that really added to the quality of this thread.

I won't disguise this: Shut the *&#% up.

Did you read any of the rest of this thread? Some of us are actually making a contribution to the discussion. So yes, there is more to us than insulting you.

For my desires to own very loud, fast, scary petrol powered cars, if the bugs were worked out of the Tesla I'd happily add one to the future collection.

Then you pad your paragraph with about 50 "I don't knows". You are a long way from being me.

LMFAO!! You're hilarioius, thank you.

I just stumbled across this video, and I think some of you might enjoy it. Of course, this is not a review of the car by an independent source, but from watching the video I get the impression that Martin Eberhard is a very direct and honest guy.

EDIT: I posted the wrong URL before. Sorry about that.

If you haven't already seen it, I recommend checking out the Tesla blog.

Road and Track got what they claim to be the "First Complete Test of the 2009 Tesla Roadster". Check it out.

Nice to see a legitimate test of the delivery model. I think the car is a nice stepping point to a better electric car, but it's not something I'd ever buy. I'd much rather have the Elise.
