I would buy myself one of these!

The Tesla Roadster!

Here's the website!

This car really just impresses the hell out of me. The darn thing is a proper sports car capable of 0 to 60 in 4 seconds and has the equivalent of 135 mpg! Damn! I soo want one. In red. :D
 
Looks nice, and I love the whole green "zero emissions" thing ... but I'm from Texas ... I NEED IT BIGGER !!!! I can't shop and then fit what I buy into that little car !!!
 
Hmm, Toyota Camry - ~$25k. I could buy a lot of gas for the remaining $75k.

Yeh, it'd be a nifty novelty item.

I think it was in the Yahoo vid, but the company did say they were already looking at a passenger car application using the technology they've developed for the roadster. They did the right thing in beginning with a sports car to get their name out there. The roadster will always be their flagship, so to speak.

But if you had an extra $100m, I'd go with a personal submarine. Check these guys out; the thing sounds pretty sweet.

Now that is super cool. If you buy one, are you taking me for a cruise? ;)

If you spent all your money on it, you wouldn't have enough money left to charge it up. Must be hell on your electricity bills... (electricity which comes from buring fossil fuels...)

Not necessarily. Besides, electricity can be generated from a whole bunch of other fuel sources. The idea behind the electric car is to get away from fossil fuels. Surely you knew that.

But at the moment most electricity is generated from fossil fuels, surely you knew that. You burn oil to make steam to turn the generators and distribute the power hundreds of miles to charge the batteries that drive the motor to drive the car. The inefficiencies are greater than using the oil to drive the car direct. Now I am a great green advocate but we need to invest heavily in other ways of generating power at the same time as developing ways to use it to replace fossil fuels. Ilove the car but it's not green yet.
 
Wow...that is cool! I love that all these cars thate are more environmentally friendly are coming out. I'm not a car person but I love that one.

$100k really does not buy very much any more. I would have to have an annual income of at least several million dollars a year in order to feel comfortable buying something like that. Just having a $100k in the bank would...I would not buy it...my practical side would not let me. :(

I have a couple neighbors that have cars that cost around that, and at least one of them that has one that costs more than that. I just hope that they keep making a lot of money to pay for all of that stuff.

I'm happy with my honda civic...I have one of the cheapest cars, if not they cheapest cars, in my neighborhood.

I do know that. Painfully. But I think it is worth pursuing in an effort to develop the technology. I think I may be the only one who's posted in this thread who finds that what has been developed thus far, in the guise of this automobile, to be fascinating.
