Nice way to get around town, but I was trying to figure out what kind of range it has. I think the Tesla can go approx 250 miles before charge up is needed.

Neat car in the video thumbsup

I read something online within the last few weeks that said the Tesla was not going to be made any more frown

Right, he does not state range, charge time, or power numbers at all. It would be nice to know just out of curiousity.

Apparently loads or people are doiing it to Fiero's. The biggest issue there is strenghtening the chassis, since it is unibody and all the extra weight requires heavy springs and suspension.

Would you like a mild jolt that says "touching me isn't a good idea" or a serious amount of current that would knock over a gorilla?

I will go for a mild shock for touching the first time but a second touch would leave only empty, smoking shoes left. devilgrin

It needs speakers on the back so you can play a CD that makes it sound like a big block!
