2008 Tesla Roadster 2dr Conv review

The car that changed the world!

January 10, 2016
By DrTaras from Los Angeles, CA
Owns this car

The Tesla Roadster was a paradigm shift; it was the car that changed the world! It said you could be sexy, you could be fast AND you could be electric! Sure, it wasn't a car for the masses with its 2-seat, low to the ground, sports car build and its cost, but it was a proof of concept that opened the door! I'd recommend you watch the movie "Revenge of the Electric Car" for more details.
