Whoa, baby! Tesla Motors' new Roadster is turning some heads, as well it should be. The 100% electric car burns rubber instead of burning gas to the tune of 0-60 in about four seconds. It'll get you about 250 miles on each charge, which, when you do the math, works out to about 135 miles per gallon, and a cost of one penny per mile! It's even got an iPod dock built right in. A full charge is reached in about three and a half hours, making it easy to do overnight.
Not just another pie-in-the-sky prototype, the Roadster will be available for sale in California during the summer of 2007. Chicago will follow with a delivery date in the fall of 2007. The cars will then also be available in New York and Miami probably beginning in late 2007. We're looking forward to seeing them hit the road. [Tesla Motors] via [Jalopnik]
