Well, open you eyes and watch the Tesla Roadster go from a dead stop to 60 miles per hour faster than a lamborghini. The Tesla is completely powered by electricity stored in the car's battery pack - "fuel tank" which is largest and most advanced lithium ion battery systems ever designed. Its light, durable, recyclable, and capable powering the Tesla Roadster from 0 to 60 mph in under 4 seconds, while storing enough energy for the vehicle to travel about 220 miles on a single charge.

There is no clutch pedal to contend with and no race-car driving techniques to perform. Just the touch of your foot and you're off, without any of the sluggishness of an automatic".
" A favorite trick here at Tesla Motors is to invite a passenger along and ask him to turn on the radio. At the precise moment we ask, we accelerate. Our passenger simply can't sit forward enough to reach the dials."
The Tesla Roadster delivers full availability of performance every moment you are in the car, even while at a stoplight. Its peak torque begins at 0 rpm and stays powerful at 14,000 rpm.
