Tesla Motors - Roadster Electric Car - the new iPhone killer?

Tesla motors have done a fabulous work on their electric car - Tesla Roadster goes live! This car is worth buying even just for its sexy appearance, not only because 1 mile on this car will cost you as low as 2 cents!
I didn't stand in line neither for iPhone, nor for iPhone 3G (oh well, shopping lines are not that common here in Switzerland), but for this baby I would agree to wait naked for a week in Siberian climate. "Lamborghini-beating" acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds - it makes 'traffic-light' competitions a joke. 'Refilling' your car from a regular power supply like you do with your mobile phone - this also adds... excitement :) "Could I refill my car here please while you do my haircut" anyone? ;)

Only 250 Tesla Roadsters are available in Europe starting from spring 2009 for 99,000 Euro (about 154,000 USD by today's exchange rate). Mass sales will begin at 2010 - when basically every serious car manufacturing company like Mercedes, Ford, BMW, Mitsubishi, Volkswagen plans to produce their electromobiles. Meanwhile we can only drool at Tesla Roadsters exterior selector. I personally like the gray one (second last).

On a way to cleaner atmosphere (or I'll be forced to move to Norway because of this heat) and cheap, easy and fast transportation :)
