Last week Tesla asked me if I\u2019d like to take the new Tesla Roadster Sport for a day to see what I thought. This is the newer Tesla Roadster that shaves 2\/10 of a second off the 0-60 time, and the car is a couple of inches bigger than the original (making it possible for me to fit my 6\u20324 frame into into it comfortably).<\/p>\n
I agreed immediately. The only rules were that only I could drive it (some nonsense about insurance), and I had to have it back by 6 pm. I did return the vehicle on time, but as you can see from the video just about everyone from the office and most of my friends came by to take it for a spin, too.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been in a Tesla before but this is the first time i\u2019ve driven one. With no gears and a silent motor, the experience is like driving a golf cart. At least it would be if golf carts could hit 100 mph on the freeway on ramp and hugged the road like it was glued there.<\/p>\n
Thanks Tesla. Sorry about that scratch in the bumper.<\/p>\n
