SAN CARLOS, Ca. – The cold rain that had been falling on Northern California in mid-January paused before we silently rolled the roadster out the development garage in San Carlos.
With the sun shining for a least a short time, the top was easily removed by releasing a pair of latches on each side and rolling it up. The top and two support ribs are easily be stored in the relatively spacious trunk area at the back of an otherwise petite car.
But this is no typical high-performance roadster, this is the Tesla Roadster.
Eighteen months after giving the world a glimpse of the Tesla Roadster in a Southern California aircraft hanger, Tesla Motors is just about ready to launch limited production of their all-electric sports car and is allowing selected members of the media behind the wheel for the first time.
Green Fuels Forecast paid a visit to Tesla’s headquarters to spend some time talking to the engineers and learning more about the car before setting out for a drive. To view photos of the car and view a video, click GreenFuelsForecast.Com
