Automotive Forums  Where Car Enthusiasts Go to Discuss Cars Online

"When I first saw the news release on the new Tesla electric roadster, I enthusiastically forwarded the link to one of my hard-core enthusiast friends who is also an amateur racer and autocrosser. Initially, no information was released on pricing. I conjectured in my synchromesh brain that Tesla Motors would offer it for about $50-60,000. High, yes, but not beyond the reach of the middle-class enthusiast willing to save up for a few years. Later the company announced the price in the $100,000 range."
