Video: Youngster Shows What's It's Like To Drive A Tesla
When we test drove the Tesla Roadster Sport 2.5 , we did our best to provide you with an accurate impression of what it feels like to drive something so completely different from anything else on the road.
Even with the limited range, the lack of practicality and the huge pricetag, we would still have one without thinking. This video should explain why.
The young auto enthusiast in this video best represents the mixture of fear and exhiliration when you put your foot down and feel the car just GO. Although we managed to get a giggle out of Peter Miller, our photographer for the Tesla review, Peter races go-karts at a high level and is used to going fast. For the average person, the video below is much more accurate of what it really feels like to hit warp speed in Elon Musk’s electric speed-demon.

Tesla Launches Roadster 2.5, Tree Huggers Have A New Latest And Greatest Ride
Hot on the heels of Tesla’s IPO (which is down $1.89 as of 3:40 PM today) comes their newest product, the Roadster 2.5, which receives a host of largely inconsequential updates designed to keep an old model in the public eye just a little bit longer (perhaps Tesla isn’t that different after all).
Hip-Hop Ode To The Tesla Roadster Makes Soulja Boy Sound Good
Los Angeles based rapper J Brave describes himself as an “MC, poet, activist for peace, and visionary…”, so we can understand why he would shun Maybachs and Bentleys in his lyrics in favor of the eco-friendly, uber-liberal chariot known as the Tesla Roadster.
Unfortunately for J Brave, his rap song “Dippin In My Tesla” doesn’t quite have the same vibe as other odes to automotive related conspicuous consumptio n. Songs like those are all about escapism, letting you step out of your 1997 Nissan Altima and into a world where your ride costs more than your house. Saving the planet isn’t a common fantasy for most hip-hop heads (at least not in the green sense). We’ll let you be the judge of the artistic merits.

Tesla Releases IPO Details, Expects To Raise $185 Million
The end goal for most venture-capital financed start-ups is to issue an IPO and help get some money into the hands of those investors brave enough to give the company money at the early stages. Tesla Motors, perhaps the first Silicon Valley car company(and headed by Elon Musk, a former dot-com executive), is about to do just that, after filing papers with the Security and Exchange Commission, detailing terms of their IPO.
