Testla Motors is now taking orders for what is basically the ultimate electric guitar. The pitfalls of other electrics such as sluggish performance, ugly looks and limited range seem to have all been solved for this car. This puppy boast 0-60 in 4 seconds, 200 miles per charge and averages out to about 1 cent per gallon.
This car seems excellent. I’m wondering what kind of reliability we will see with these batteries though. How long will they hold a charge, and when they stop charging properly how much is a replacement going to be? I’m willing to bet an absolute shitload.
Also the question must be asked, for the price of this car, how many miles would you have to drive before it even saves you a dime. My bet is if you are looking to save money this car is definitely not the choice for you, at least not yet.
Regardless I’m very interested to see what owners of this car say when they become more readily available.
