The Tesla Roadster delivers 100 percent of torque available at any time, from 0 to 14,000 rpm, so it accelerates from standstill to 60 mph at breakneck pace. What is more, can travel up to 220 miles without recharging, maxes out at 125 km/h, and requires not a drop of gasoline. Sport Performance aside, the environmental benefits alone are amazing.
Nevertheless, the Roadster is not perfect. Just as the Lotus Elise, with which some components, cabin of the roadster lacks in comfort, luxury, comfort and cargo space. But most drivers are not bad. “We can easily handle one or several small errors, the Roadster sports car, because it is blessed so much fun to drive,” writes Autoblog. “This is not a concept car made of Unobtainium. It is available now (well, three months, it had a backlog Roadster), and it certainly won our hearts again like the first time we went to did.”
