    Icon12 Tesla Roadster Sport vs. Tesla Model S Performance

    - 0 to 60 MPH in 3.7 seconds vs. 4.4 seconds
    - range 245 miles vs. 300 miles
    - motor air cooled vs. liquid cooled
    - 129.000 $ vs. 79.900 $
    - equal top speed
    - battery warranty 3 years vs. 8 years
    - 2 seats vs. 5+2 seats

    Not to state the greater interior dimensions, better brakes, storage space, increased comfort etc. etc. for the Model S.

    Why should anyone keep their Roadster?
    Tesla Roadster #570 EU
    Status | Your Roadster has over 17000 km on the odometer, 293 km range on standard charge.

    If you have to ask, you'll never understand.

    But I suspect that coming from you this is a rhetorical question, and you're not about to part with Lightning Green.

    The obvious answer is that you need both.

    Not sure I'd want to drive the wide-ass Model S too fast on Italy's narrow roads.

    Model S?

    I hope to God I'm never so old that I would want to drive a 4 door sedan!

    It's a world better than driving a minivan! You don't have kids yet, do you?

    Because it's very small and sexy, and it's quicker. But I agree that both are necessary. The best electric cars on the planet.

    Oh yeah, and you can't buy a Model S. You have to wait.

    Zack you pretty much hit the nail on the head. I like smaller, more responsive cars. I almost wanted to cancel our S reservation when I saw how big it was. I didn't want to wait. And we need both in our family. Can't wait to be all electric with our cars.
