Tesla opens London dealership; American exotic car Roadster is first key sales feature

TESLA ROADSTER

The Tesla Roadster is an intense little all-electric car that does 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds. GQ Magazine reports, “If you’re not familiar with the Lotus Elise-based Roadster, described by a slack-jawed Jeremy Clarkson [of the BBC car review show TOP GEAR] as “biblically quick”, it can do 240 miles on one charge, is six times more efficient than your common-or-garden sports car and is greener even than the Toyota Prius (although not as green as Prius owners will be when they clap eyes on one).”

Top speed is reportedly 125 MPH, a respectable number that will certainly allow the electric car to take on any other respectable hybrid, with it’s small size often giving a cornering advantage to play racing drivers.

European deliveries of the Tesla eco-friendly smart model will start in the summer of 2009. The company reports that right-hand drive models will be produced in 2010 and prices start at roughly 94,000 Euros for the hot green ticket and easy to park auto products.

Exotic Car Examiner gives Insider Story opinion about new car CAFE Legislation 35.5 MPG standards set by American President Barak Obama

President Barak Obama has announced in no uncertain terms that automobile manufacturers in America will be required to comply with a green technology mandate that insists vehicles not only reduce emissions but improve gas mileage. The 35.5 MPG rubric that Obama has suggested has muscle car lovers and SUV or private truck drivers in a panic. Add to the information that these types of vehicles will not continue to be produced that Obama has openly shared that auto costs will rise by a minimum of $1300 on average and you can see why the media is easily able to launch frightened and cash strapped Americans into an automotive inspired trendy level of \”car fashion\” panic. Search the net and you will find countless auto forum writers and bloggers journaling about how the standard is so unreachable that the CAFE drive is sure to cause further collapse in the American auto industry. The dialogs read like a classroom of schoolchildren who are upset to know that the PASS/FAIL rubric set at a low bar of 70% is being transformed to a scale of A, B, C, D, Environmentally Friendly, and F (with F indicating a failing grade for an automobile not meeting the CAFE measurement standards and needing to be held back to repeat a year in the public school system).
