i was just having a discussion about the tesla roadster with another coworker who's also a car buff - what would we buy in the 100g price range, if we were in the market. there are some good options: audi r8, ford gt (ok, that's a bit over 100), and i would take the tesla roadster hands-down. not only would it beat anything off the line in the same price range, i'd also never EVER have to stop at a gas station, and i'd never EVER need an oil change. as for refilling/charging convenience, it has a portable charging cord as an option where you can charge off household current... i think there might be even more of those at any given place in the country than even a gas station.

tesla is saying they're developing a less expensive sports sedan. less expensive could very well be 80k instead of 100 though.
