The first fully electric automobile to be produced by electric car firm Tesla Motors. Tesla claims prototypes have been able to accelerate from 0-60 mph (100 km/h) in about 4 seconds, and reach a top speed of 130 mph (210 km/h). Additionally, the car will be able to travel 250 miles (400 km) on a single charge of its lithium ion batteries. PRICE: $100,000 plus options. I think it’s a great car…great invention!!!( i wish i was rich!!!:S :S lol) video: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIFgzx-wJcU](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIFgzx-wJcU) pics: [![http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/5016/img6857rr0.jpg](http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/5016/img6857rr0.jpg)](http://imageshack.us) [![http://img487.imageshack.us/img487/5361/img6847wo0.jpg](http://img487.imageshack.us/img487/5361/img6847wo0.jpg)](http://imageshack.us) [![http://img487.imageshack.us/img487/5673/thepluginsizedpr9.jpg](http://img487.imageshack.us/img487/5673/thepluginsizedpr9.jpg)](http://imageshack.us) ---

But how much does it cost for you guys to fill up a tank? I get about 300KM to the tank with regular driving and I can get 450 if I do all highway. That’s on a $60 tank of premium. That equates to 8/9mpg The Twin Turbo version gets 18/22mpg city in stock form at 300HP That’s one of the main reasons I’m looking forward to this swap. Even if I do the mild upgrades, get 400RWHP I can still be beating the fuel efficiency of my car right now. Electric car like that… I’ll buy if they put the motors/batteries in a 300ZX and make my car out of all aluminum or carbon fiber. The numbers are really good. ---
