Wish there was a video section for the Roadster section.
Anyways, came across this Drivers Republic video the other day about their first impressions on the Tesla Roadster when it was released. I really like this guy, he's actually very honest, smart, articulate, and understands cars pretty well by feel. He noticed two things on the Roadster, one was the horrible braking. That the tiny Elise brakes on the Roadster were struggling to stop the Roadster from 80MPH, something that was nothing for the Elise to do. Second was handling, that the weight has made the car less agile compared to the Elise but he understood that. I'm sure that if he drove at night he would have also said that the halogen headlights are just horrible, beyond horrible! Curious what his impression would have been if he had the CarboTech brake pads and the Nitron/Bilstein adjustable suspension installed. He did have the pure excitement of what the future should will and should turn out to be. A true automotive enthusiast to say the least.
