New Electric Car Has Zip

Perhaps we may beat our oil addiction yet. A start-up based in Silicon Valley, Tesla Motors, is about to start selling its new car on a small scale soon. Oh yes, the car. It’s all electric, goes from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds, and runs for 200 miles between recharges. Only 1 little problem - the price tag: $100k. In fairness, their first vehicle is a roadster and they have plans for cheaper sedans in the not too distant future.

More data needed. It can travel 200 miles at what speed? 45 MPH, 55, MPH, 130 MPH? Is that 200 miles on hilly terrain or flat terrain? One passenger or two?

“250 miles EPA highway” - I can only assume than means 250 miles at highway speeds on flat terrain… Which in the US translates to somewhere between 55 to 70.
Check out the website. Some impressive specs - http://www.teslamotors.com/
What really caught my eye is they are claiming around 100,000+ miles until the Li-Ion batteries need replacing. Battery recycle fees are included with the price of the vehicle. No mention of how much battery replacement costs though.
