Well, bored at work today, someone mentioned the Tesla Roadster.

Sure people have heard of it, but sounds like a real alternative to a petrol car.

I'd have one!

impressive, but for safety you should concentrate on the road and leave the missus to make noises in the car (!?) ;)

Aye.

Lotus supplied the basic chassis technology from its Lotus Elise. Tesla engineers designed a new chassis with this technology, lengthening it, lowering the door sills, and adjusting its strength to match the weight of the Tesla Roadster. Besides the chassis technology, the Roadster also shares some components with the Elise, such as the windshield, air bags, tires, some dashboard parts, and suspension components.[6] The styling was penned by Barney Hatt at Lotus' design studio with input from Tesla. The car will be assembled at the Lotus factory in Hethel, England, with drivetrain components and body components supplied to the factory by Tesla.
