Meet Tesla The $100,000 Electric Car

The Tesla Roadster is a 100% electric car. It does not need gasoline to run its engine. Duh. According to the Telsa website, the Tesla Roadster goes from 0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds, gets 220 miles per charge and will file your taxes by April 15.

This electric car is more powerful than the average electric car that tops out at 60 mph. It erases that stigma because of its 240 horsepower engine that goes 130 mph.

Now, the Tesla Roadster will put you back about $100, 000. If you have that kind of loot, the price of a gallon of gas ain't bugging you that much.

Still, the electric car tech has made huge hops and will eventually filter down to an affordable package. Maybe in my lifetime.

FuelMode does not endorse the Tesla Roadster. But, if the people at Tesla Motors gave me one that would change.
