Tesla Roadster

[Oilchange]

Saw one today, admittedly it was near Lake Como in Italy but I've never seen one before. There can't be many about just wondered if anyone else had seen one?

I've seen loads, but all of them were in silicon valley.

Last one I saw:

Saw a white Tesla black wheels, London reg, not sure what type it was last week in Southwold.

There's quite common here in Switzerland (which you weren't that far from in Como). I see more Teslas than Lotuses. I've also seen them in France and the NL.

Saw one today in Sevenoaks. They are around!

I saw one today in Nottingham, & there's even one in my village too.

They're not right.

Sadly, does remind you how important noise is as an integral element of a sportscar.

I drove one in Milan a couple of years ago if that counts

[ravon]

Got passed by one on the M25 last Monday whilst returning from the Gold Track Silverstone, it was really motoring, then saw it parked in Guildford that evening, car was finished in an unusual light blue/purple colour .

Not that I am in a position to buy one. I was deep in thought of what they would be like to own.

The appeal of a country drive with the roof off and no engine noise would be interesting to experience. Then I thought about the wild life on our roads and thought it could be a bit dangerous.

The thought of using a car that cost pence to run would bring back the good old days of driving for the sake of it.

They're worse in Linby

On a serious note, I've seen one recently leaving Newstead Abbey park - maybe the same one or perhaps we just have a glut of 'not rights' near us?

Yep, go to Farnborough Main station and you'll see one parked up every day (in the premium spaces).

Saw a laser blue one in Cheltenham a couple of months back at an electric car event.

Interesting piece in this months EVO (the eCOTY one) where they take a Tesla up to a frozen lake in Norway to see how it fares in sub-zero temperatures which the naysayers will be the death knell for EVs.

Far from it - they still manage 170km on a full charge and in fact the biggest impact is how much time they spent going sideways and spinning the wheels, which really drains the battery. All in all they are impressed by the performance down at -18 degrees. Another busted EV myth.
