    Roadster 2 ( formerly 2010 model )

    Regretably, I won't be able to make it. I'll be on the other side of the planet... far away from my Roadster.

    Roadster 2 ( formerly 2010 model )

    I picked up my car as well over the weekend. I'll see if I can post some interesting pics before I leave town. I'll also put together a post with some of my positive and constructive feedback on my initial experiences with the car so far. DrComputer- I was dealing with extremely hot temps as...

    The reality of tesla?

    The Engineering Blog on Tesla's web site covers this in detail. Here's the summary... 15 mph = 400 mile range 30 mph = 360 mile range 45 mph = 285 mile range 60 mph = 220 mile range 75 mph = 160 mile range Nothing about this car makes much economic sense. But in countless ways, price...

    The reality of tesla?

    While I'm not yet a Roadster owner (though I should be by next week) I feel confident enough to answer two of your questions... The cost to fill up the Roadster is directly related to your own cost of electricity. I used to be on the So Cal Edison Domestic (standard) rate plan. My electricity...

    Production/Delivery Status

    As expected, the cars did not leave Menlo Park today. However, I was given a firm tentative hope that the cars might possibly leave on Thursday -- I'm not holding my breath though.

    Bank of America financing Roadsters

    ... ahhh, if only banks were willing to actually lend money as a contingency of offering a loan these days... well then we'd have something!

    I'll take the over. That's very disappointing. But thank you kindly for the update.

    Production/Delivery Status

    I have a hunch (though I wouldn't wager on it) that this is the week that a small handful of 2010 roadsters (mine included) will be shipped off for delivery. The big question in my mind is whether or not they'll make it to their destination before week's end. If not, we're in for what I have no...

    Production/Delivery Status

    Ditto and Ditto. I don't know that they realize how valuable information is in soothing the eager customer. If you find anything out at all, please let us in on the secret. I once saw Ian parked EXTREMELY close to my home, and I once shouted to him from behind on Topanga Canyon. We also...

    Production/Delivery Status

    I can't say for sure that no 2010s have been delivered yet, but I can say that I'm still awaiting #508, with hardly any information as to why it has been held up and no estimate on a delivery date. It began production on May 12th and arrived in the bay area on or about June 5th. I can only...
