    New Tesla Roadster- 0-60 MPH- 1.9 seconds. 620 mile range.

    If Musk is correct about these numbers, I can't wait to hear what the gripe is about this from this group.

    Nice, but as I miss the rumble of a Harley, I would miss the rumble of a high horsepower v8.

    That car is electric, so the rumble can be synthesized and projected

    So has fuel cell technology just been abandoned? How long does one have to wait to charge the batteries after they are depleted? I like seeing technology improve, but let's face it, 620 mile range doesn't mean 620 I'm sure if taking advantage of the 0-60 times. Pretty cool though. Having been used to the rather quiet nature and turbine like sound of our GL1800s , going electric is not a stretch, other than the range limitations.

    I love it....a Honda charging up a BMW.

    Now if ya got a lot to haul... Tesla just announced a new electric 18 wheeler to be on the market in a few years.

    Tesla unveiled its new semi-truck, which CEO Elon Musk said can go zero-to-60 in five seconds with an empty trailer. That's a figure usually associated with luxury sedans, not big trucks. With a full load, the truck can still reach that speed in 20 seconds, according to Musk, much faster than any diesel-powered truck.

    the guy who invented the second one... he was the genius!
