Mythbusters in Tesla's Own Words - Roadster is NOT Elise

[Matteni]

In the months of research before and after I bought the roadster I read 3+ years of this forum. In all that time I saw references to how different the Roadster was to an Elise/Exige (but didn't really fully believe or appreciate it).

I was sent this blog post from 2008 on Tesla.com that really helps me appreciate how different the cars are.

I searched for Mythbusters and no hits so apologies if this is somewhere in the long-forgotten past.

Enjoy.

PS: I can't find "Part 1" if anyone has a link to it - please share below.

^^^interesting read and thanks for sharing! The old roaster blogs from Tesla are packed with great info but harder to search. Has any one cataloged them all? Maybe into a searchable PDF?

I've been toying with doing this, especially Martin's posts.

I just copied all the old blog entros. Been thinking about the best way to automatically parse the information and haven't come up with a good way. May just need to manually turn it into an Excel spreadsheet.
