New Roadster is beautiful - with family heritage throughout design: OG Roadster silhouette, Model S corners, Modrl 3 nose.. just needs the convertible top to open falcon style

Unexpected (tonight), but just Awesome

I had heard about this back in November 2013 from Angel investor I met in a RV Park outside North Little Rock, Arkansas.
Dreams do come true....

200kWh battery in a 2+2 seater but could only fit 70ish in the Model 3. Do they integrate the battery into the frame like the MIT Lambo concept from earlier this week? On top of that they are fitting 3 motors in there + plenty of storage.

I am pleased to see Tesla continuing down the path of affordable autos that use energy wisely in order to save the planet.

New financing round: Reserving the Founders Edition costs you $250k right now! That's $250 million! I can't stop laughing!

"hamsterDeposit": "$5,000",
"hamsterFullDeposit": "$45,000",
"hamsterTotal1": "$200,000",

They just can't help the nerdy humor.

Let's not start. The Model 3 is a high volume affordable car for the masses that's why 'could only fit 70ish'.

We NEED to see the internals.. How it the planet are they fitting 200kwh batteries? And where are the extra 2 seats??? This is insane. I would have to trade in my MS as a deposit! lmao, I need a raise!

Maybe you should compare it to the price of its closest competition. Say, one of the McLaren models.
