Have driven it 3 seperate times. Once around town, once on the track and once mainly on the highway. Awesome acceleration / torque. My wife LOVES it way more than my Lotus even though it has the same undercarriage and the interior has the same structure because it is ridiculously quiet. I love the de-acceleration when you take your foot OFF the accelerator.Apr 22, 2012

Love my Tesla Roadster Sport 2.0, but as mentioned above, it's not for everyone. Has FAR more range other electric vehicles. people don't seem to to understand that you just plug it in at home and charge it at night. With high-power home charger, it charges in 2-3 hours, but who cares if you do it at night while you sleep? It's ready every morning for 210-230 miles of daily commuting without worrying about fuel. Astounding acceleration (0-60 in 3.7s), good handling. But not lavish, misses basic comfort features you might expect in a $120k car! It's hand-built, specialty car. if you like that sort of thing, you can fall in love with this car, like I have. If you'll miss 4 cupholders, storage boxes for everything, electric seats, etc., then it's not for you.Jan 23, 2012
