Tesla Roadster 0-60 in 3.9 seconds?! Hmm.. not bad for an electric car but how does it sound doing that?

Model S is here:

You can see it's designed by the former Mazda design chief. And with a streak of Jaguar and AM Rapide... pretty good looking car!

It was on our local news last night. Nice looking car but I can't see how it can fit 7 people in there.

wow.. I didn't see the sedan yet. The whole concept of this company i cool. Electric cars+ high performance. And now, they have sedan out and it's relatively inexpensive.

This company definately has a future.. may be sometime in 10 years we all will be riding something like that..

Wind noise around the roof and tire roar.
