The day has arrived, and its a wonderful day. Automotive journalists in the seat of the all electric Tesla Roadster. Great article and review at AutoblogGreen and the car sounds like a success albeit a bit spartan a la Lotus Elise. They also help the reader get a very good idea of how different it is to drive an electric sports car. Unlike a ‘normal’ car the Tesla will have a single gear and the electric motor’s massive torque is available from zero to 6000 RPM. In other words when you stop on the accelerator the car takes off and doesn’t quit, jerk, or shift until it hits maximum speed. I’m looking forward to many more reviews and I hope the rest of the automotive press is as impressed as the folks at AutoblogGreen.
