Put my S2000 away on Saturday. I really wanted to drive it some more and in the past I’ve even had a birthday ride in it. Not this year though

New Tesla Roadster. Your thoughts? R&T says the car will cost $200k

The numbers on that car seem too good to be true. That acceleration, top speed, and range don't seem very realistic.

I’m with you on the price Levi

Shiv - I think range will suffer if you do 0-60 runs or otherwise drive it like people would drive a sports car.

I like the idea, but at this point it seems like hype. The last Roadster didn’t have the best handling as I recall and I wonder how well this will handle too.

I like the Hydrogen idea a lot more over this.

And with that kind of moolah, if I had it to spend, I’d much rather spend it on a Cayman GT 4.

As of now a Tesla only appeals to me for commuting. For fun, I need the noise and drama of an ICE and a manual transmission
