Here it is Tesla Roadster #1. Price tag $98,000.

Actually for a sub 4 sec 0-60 car...the thing is a friggin steal. And it gets like 150mpg on a cost of gas to all electric basis VS. a 12 MPG Viper or Lambo.

Actual 'non talking head' portion of video starts @ 3:00 if your not patient.

Love that website, you have to see the steam powered car that he has. I can't believe how sophisticated that vehicle was considering the year it was built.

Leno, NBC and GM did a great job on that website, and I love Leno being microphoned as he is driving in a vehicle separate from the camera.

As for the Tesla Roadster, it is a dream machine, and if they ever put a range extender in it, or replace the batteries with some that are rapid recharge, you would have the ultimate unlimited range vehicle.

Fisker Karma is an absolutely beautiful vehicle - that is styling. These gem faceted cars rolling out of Cadillac aren't sexy at all, not like Fisker's work on for Aston Martin, BMW and his own Karma.

I hope to hear soon where he plans to build that vehicle.
