An Electric Supercar To Revolutionise The Motor Industry
17th April 2010
The Tesla Roadster Sports is the first fully electric supercar with commercial viability; it is a brainchild of Silicon Valley, financed by 38 year old PayPal billionaire Elon Musk. Tesla is an unconventional motoring start-up founded by Californian software engineer Martin Eberhard.
Eberhard’s dream was to produce a car that was powered by sustainable energy while, unlike all its competitors, was practical enough to use every day. The hard part was developing the technology and putting it in a car at a price people could afford. Then Eberhard realised, none of the high tech gadgets he was used to ever start like that, they were all hyped-up, over priced and rare, becoming cheaper with time and volume. By working on this principal the first line of consumers would fund the development of the company.
The bodies were designed by British racing legends Lotus and were shipped to California where the engines were installed and charged which brought the final cost of the car to $100,000. Most would argue that its modest price for a supercar and many would agree it’s a steal of an investment into a company that could hold the future for the motoring industry.
To ensure its success, Musk used his links with Google and Hollywood to gain credibility with public figures such as George Clooney and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Before production of the Roadster even began, there was a’ who’s-who’ of the rich and famous on the waiting list as jumping on the eco-wagon becomes increasingly fashionable.
When officially tested, the Roadster was found to be capable of achieving 0-60 in 3.7 seconds with a limited top speed of 125mph. This meant the first electric supercar could out-perform a Ferrari while keeping you pinned in your seat from the instance you touch the pedal, all in absolute silence.
Tesla also plan on selling the intellectual property for their engines to some of the European car giants which could create a huge supple of affordable electric cars, meaning even if your next car isn’t electric, the one after probably will be.
Even though the Tesla is limited to 125mph, you will still need a driving offence solicitor for any speeding offence you may commit.
