Wouldn't it be a tad faster with the top on?

Probably faster, but not as fun. I'm surprised they weren't required to wear helmets, however.

Does anyone know which drivetrain/transmission is in VP12? Photos of the center console show the 1-speed configuration (R-N-D), but shots in the video of the instrument cluster appear to show it partially updated to P-R-N-1. (The original 2-speed had P-R-N-1-2 and the updated 1-speed has P-R-N-D.) So does VP12 has drivetrain 1.0 locked in high gear or is it running drivetrain 1.5.

Doug: After what the Tesla guy said in Oslo this car has the 1.0 drivetrain locked in second gear. They just updated the gear shifter visuals so it looks like the 1.5 drivetrain.

Has this video been pulled? Seems to be the only one not working now.

Works for me. You might try restarting your browser.

Let's hope there's an appearance on UK Top Gear coming up to coincide with the Roadster attending the british auto show.
