The Tesla Roadster test drive was one of the funnest reviews and interviews we've done before. One beautiful day we went for a drive on the much talked about, super fast electric sports car, the Tesla Roadster. We went to their showroom in Menlo Park, California and it was an amazing experience, to say the least. Tesla was founded in Silicon Valley in 2003 by a few Silicon Valley engineers passionate about electric vehicles technology. I talked and interviewed their PR person, Khobi Brooklyn, and she showed us the showroom, the assembly area, how the car is charged and she even talked about the electric battery that was developed by Nikola Tesla, a Serbian inventor, electrical engineer and mechanical engineer, over a century ago. The test drive was amazing, for a electric sports car that's relatively new compared to other regular sports car, and for it to be able to beat all Ferrari's but one in going from 0 to 60mph in 3.7 seconds, it's just very impressive. The performance was great, you feel the kick and yet it makes no noise whatsoever. The maximum net power is 248 horsepower (hp) which is the equivalent of 185 kW and it goes for an average of 244 miles in one single charge. Today there are over 1,000 Roadsters in the roads of 25 different countries! Not to mention the attention you get by all eyes staring at you and the Roadster when you drive by them!
I just hope that car companies will make electric cars the standard fleet coming out of their factories. This is an The cost for the Tesla Roadster starts at $101,500. The Tesla Model S sedan is supposed to be available for purchasing in 2011 at a cost of $49,900.
The Tesla Roadster comes in the following colors: blue, black, white, red, orange, gray and yellow, and some lighter/darker variations of these colors.
Highlights:
- Electric
- 248 horsepower
- Lithium-ion battery
- 0-60 in 3.7 seconds
- Battery recycling program
- Awesome company, awesome people!

[..YouTube..] Tesla Motors’ founder was Martin Eberhard, not Elon Musk. Elon Mush is a current CEO.
[..YouTube..] @AndY1ksi Sorry for the typo. It’s Elon Musk.
[..YouTube..] Is it just me, or is the audio messed up?
[..YouTube..] @idontcare80 one of the mics is mono so if your R speaker is not working, you won’t have audio half way through it, sorry!
[..YouTube..] @EcoBold I think I just had one ear bud in, so that’s probably why I couldn’t hear lol. Thanks.
[..YouTube..] so much envy!
[..YouTube..] That is such an amazing drive!! How much is it?!?!?!?!?1
[..YouTube..] The brunette is hot…almost as hot as the car.
[..YouTube..] Tesla seems just too damn great to be real. I don’t see how they aren’t selling like 100,000 of them. The CEO said they’ve only sold like 1,300!!!
i want one soooo bad. Its beyond a dream car
[..YouTube..] 10 Years life on the battery? Yeah right! Bet you lucky to get 2 years.
[..YouTube..] If tesla were smart, they would hire you to do the job of the woman at the beginning of the video…seriously…you fit the companies image and are much more well spoken and interesting.
[..YouTube..] @apocolypse1022 awwww u’re too kind! xoxo
[...] even more with the car. Here's our test drive and interview at their showroom in Menlo Park: http://www.ecobold.com/tesla-roadster-test-drive-2.They're also coming up with the four door Sedan, the Model S and it's extremely beautiful! [...]
[..YouTube..] Gimme dat Woamn over ANY Car!
[..YouTube..] @JellyBird12
[..YouTube..] @EcoBold XD
[..YouTube..] @EcoBold im sure she would like a vibrater made by tesla….. im sure she knows how to turn that on….
[..YouTube..] Greatest Scientist of All Time! Regards from Serbia
[..YouTube..] @babaksarrafan i disagree… i think we all need a slurpee from time to time =P
[..YouTube..] WOW
[..YouTube..] This basically proves that performant EV’s have a huuuge possible market in affluent women .They like going fast (like my BFF..too fast for my taste)yet, hate dirt ,noise and grime…
The Tesla would be perfect for my BFF…
[..YouTube..] They need a better woman to represent Tesla. If that girl gave me a tour of the factory I would think she didn’t care. She needs to get off the texting and facebook and practice communicating with people in real life.
[..YouTube..] i here the CEO’s of Tesla were murdered in a plane crash. i guess the powers in charge didn’t like the competition.
[..YouTube..] It’s great to see the end of cheap oil won’t be the end of fast cars.
[..YouTube..] A couple of years ago, this car cost about $100k. So as much as I’d like to save on gas, pollute the planet less, and reduce my carbon footprint, I can’t afford it.
[..YouTube..] The noise it makes when threy drove it sounds soo cool! It’s like a futuristc sound from a sci-fi hover car.
[..YouTube..] *Giggles*, *Rolls Eyes* and *Gestures excitedly*
[..YouTube..] perle ai porci…!
[..YouTube..] perle ai porci…!
