I just want to mention that the early 12.9 quarter mile times are with the old two-speed transmission. I haven't heard any authoritative comment on the quarter mile time with the imminent "drivetrain 1.5", which has more horsepower and a single gear.

As for the servicing prices, a car with all the new technology as the Tesla Roadster is destined to have problems, especially as it ages--there are no 5 year old Teslas on the road that we can study and learn from.

Powertrain 1.5 has a qtr mile time of 12.9

Tesla Motors - touch
read paragraph 4

I hope it lives up to that in the real world.

You're right... I just realized that myself and came back to this thread to say "oops" :)

By the by, I think ~13s 1/4 mile will be more than quick enough for nearly all customers. The only ones who might wish for a bit better would be someone who plans to drag race at a track.

Just don't "race for pinks" with something that has a Z06 or SRT10 badge and you should be OK!

I want that Tesla that JB is driving. he says, ""But it's also the fastest car in our fleet at the moment."

Maybe someone will make a "racing chip" for the Roadster.
