Comes fully loaded with sat-nav, a/c, leather interior. You can get a solar panel option where you can actually make more energy on your daily work commute than you use.

250miles per charge, 130mph top speed

Very nice, I didn’t know things were coming along so well in that area. Anyone know how long they “charge” for?

Oh, and also not to be confused with this “Tesla”:

thats serious

but its gotta be such a tease driving it

insta torque and then NOTHING at the top end

similar to a V8 :stuck_out_tongue:

That’s f*in baller. Nothing else to say, really.

What’s the retail on one of those?

‘whats the retail’ indeed…

this is a very interesting car.

unconfirmed

$100k usd for the first 100 telsas

$80k after that.

not bad really, but i like the concern that i heard on a lotus board…

how do you take a road trip if the car requires a 3.5 hour charge from full empty…hmmm…hmmm… hmmmm

i guess it’ll be a road trip with a lot of downtime. at least it’s affordable :lol:

ide drift it.

Easy - bring a really horny girl along…

Range 250 miles EPA highway

Full Charge As short as 3.5 hours

Annnnd that’s where it gets rocked.
400km and you have to recharged for a MINIMUM of 3.5 hours.

That makes an 800km trip at 100km/h take 11.5 hours with a charge mid-trip. Although it does have some sort of system where it recharges the batteries under braking.

For the price, I would much rather buy one of these:

^ the problem with that is that you can’t bring the horny girl along :smileysex:

Yes you can, it’s a two seater you moron. :stuck_out_tongue:

touche

but your face still gets discombobulsetatemeded
