FYI My dads review of the TESLA roadster
"Today I drove the new Tesla - it is the all electric sports car which X bought costs $100,000. Much publicity about it here. Faster than a ferrari - actually it is an absolute clone of a Lotus Elise except with electric motor and incredible torque - tiny inside and hard ride
One huge turn off for the Tesla is the steering - absolutely no power steering so I was cranking away at this small steering wheel and it was really as heavy as a tractor - it simply slows down one's ability to get through corners because you are struggling to get around, literally!
For the rest, it is awesome. One truly clever feature that they are developing and coming soon once they have enough cars on the road is a station in which you simply drive in, you battery is loaded beneath the car and a robot removes the flat one and replaces it with a fully charged one and one minute later you are on your way. Petrol is history! As for range, tesla has 400 MILES! if driven easy and about 250 miles if driven hard."
