Hi Guys,
I've been a fan of Tesla since they announced the Roadster, and I almost bought one, but I decided that $110k+ a bit too much cash.
I've never had the chance of riding in one or driving it, so I was wondering if anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area would like to trade a ride or drive in the Tesla for one in the Lotus Elise, which I own :biggrin:. Of course, the well being of both cars is most important, so no funny business. I've been in the Wrightspeed X1, which is a truly insane electric car, and I think the performance car of the future will have an electric power train. I'd like to know how the Tesla compares.
So, who would be up for it? It should be an interesting comparison. The Elise is much lighter, and less powerful with little torque in the low RPM range, while the Roadster is basically the opposite of that.
