Gamerdude5448 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I made a video last year about my dad's new car, just want to see your opinions on it. It does a max of 130 and can go from 1 to 60 in 3.9 seconds. Here's a video of it.

DEG23 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Your dad sounded like a kid on Christmas morning:p Love the body, reminds me of the Quattroporte. What's the mileage/recharge time like? Certainly seems to have a lot of power. Although it won't change my opinion on electric cars (I despise them with a passion;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamerdude5448 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Your dad sounded like a kid on Christmas morning:p Love the body, reminds me of the Quattroporte. What's the mileage/recharge time like? Certainly seems to have a lot of power. Although it won't change my opinion on electric cars (I despise them with a passion;)) It has a range of 300 miles on 1 charge but it depends as the car has regen brakes that give it more power when you brake. The world record for one charge is around 400 miles. You can charge it over-night or use a special charger that charges from 0% to 100% in 2 hours or so Edited February 11, 2013 by Gamerdude5448 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StayonTarget Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Problem is that Teslas are expensive. They aren't a working man's car yet. I saw some at the LA Auto Show back in December though and they were sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw some at the LA Auto Show back in December though and they were sweet. Yeah, they are expensive. 100,000$ U.S.. Also, the order list is long as hell. My dad waited 3 years to get the car after he ordered it. It's quite the money saver after you do get one though. But, since it isn't a high production car, it has a bunch of problems. All are being worked on by the Tesla company. The car itself can have all its parts replaced easily. Every part in the car can be replaced, so it isn't too much trouble. But, it is the 1st generation of the car so it's going to have it's problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C64 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Not my cup of tea, meh. For that kind of money I'd be in a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S or even the Porsche Panamera 4S in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skillet Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 You'll save money on gas, but I wonder how much it costs to juice it up. I can see these easily filling the role of "cars of the future"... but there are still going to be many people who prefer a standard automobile. Not just because the entry price of an electric car is generally more expensive than one with a combustion engine, but because there are some people that would much rather lift the hood and find mechanical parts, rather than extra trunk space. Give me one of these any day... http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/1993_JZA80_Toyota_Supra_SZ.jpg/280px-1993_JZA80_Toyota_Supra_SZ.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest of electric cars looks stupid & futuristic clichés. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
