This is the new Tesla that is expected to sell for 1/3 to a 1.4 of what the roadster sells for.

A fully loaded ZENN electric car cost about $20K. The insight that GM made was affordable too.

Tesla wanted to edge into the exotic market, and are charging alot of money for a car that does not warrant it.

And I will guarantee if you email them and ask them who the typical buyer of a roadster is, it will be mostly A list celebrities, because they want their green image more than anything.
If I was a movie star, I would buy a 1970 Chevelle and stuff in a 700hp/1200lb-ft smoke bellowing duramax diesel, because I am tired of the greenies holier than thou attitude that is totally undeserved.



I'll still take the Lotus.
I watched a show on them. From what I remember it was not all celebrities buying them. It wouldn't matter to me anyway. I like what I like. I don't care who likes or buys them if any.

One thing I will say is that car you posted is sexy as hell. That I would buy. Thats why I like this company. Their shit looks nothing like a Pruis.

I want a 379 Peterbilt to haul a boat. I also want to build a 427 Cobra SC.
