The Tesla Roadster...

• 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds
• Max speed of 125mph
• 220 mile range on a charge

AND a beauty to behold.

Now the question is whether I would willingly fork over $100k for a 2-seater or wait a few months, pray for the Obama stimulus package subsidy and go for the family-friendly 4-door, 7-seater Tesla Model S instead with an expected base price of $50k.

0-60 in 5.6 seconds...is 1.6 seconds worth 50k???
