It looks a lot like a Lotus Elise to me -- which is no bad thing! Also, I wondered if this was deliberate, or whether the problem is lightweight sportscar design is heavily constrained? (Of course, taste is constrained too.)
- dtegart 16y agoIt is a Lotus Elise with different fascias and interior. And powertrain of course. Tesla isn't really a car company, they are a powertrain company and in my opinion they should stay that way. It is where their strengths are, building cars is hard and expensive, and lots of other companies do it well. What the current car companies don't do is electric powertrains and all the controls that go with that.
- rythie 16y agoIt is based on the same chassis as the Elise and is assembled by them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Roadster http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Roadster
