Thanks to *AnOutsider* over here for finding the pics of Jurvetson's Founders #1. I figured that one aspect - real world range - will motivate enough discussion to start a new thread.
Here's the source pic:
Now it appears from the acceleration spikes that Jurvetson has been enjoying his new car and probably showing off some (BTW, these spikes will look absolutely normal to Roadster owners!). However the average Wh/mile is still only 309, so on a simplistic level he has an 85kWh battery pack with 309Wh/mile which equals a range of 275 miles based on that style of driving. That would be an amazing range under those conditions.
P.S. The more technically gifted TMC-er's are invited to dissect these numbers in a more scientific manner.
