I wonder how these will compare to the exige's and elise's. Opinions?

nice i like the looks of the extige better but it should be a nice car.

Kinda funny, after reading the title and seeing "tesla" I said to myself, "What, is it electric?" and low and behold, IT IS! Not a bad looking car though.

I'd rather have an Exige, but it's nice.

I wonder how many laps you could do at BIR on 1 charge. It would be a fun car, but battery life could possibly kill the fun in it.

Nice.

Once electric cars stop looking and driving like putting on a fat lady's blouse, maybe people will start buying them.

So did Lotus buy Tesla, or are they just outsourcing their production to Lotus' factories?

ive seen a video of that car on the news before. apparently when you floor it, there is no sound of acceleration at all, just wind noise...that would be weird i would think.

There is a sound and it sounds badass, there is a good clip of it right at the beginning of this vid
