    Next Tesla Roadster Not To Be Seen Until 2015

    Tesla’s first car, the Roadster had to bow out last year due to Lotus choosing to end production of its own Elise and Exige sports cars, which the Roadster was based on. Since then, Tesla has promised a sequel to the Roadster, but it might be a long wait.

    Inside Line spoke with Tesla Chairman and CEO Elon Musk about the next Roadster. Musk said he's decided to hold up on a replacement roadster for now. The reason isn’t technical, but business. Musk said the company is going to put their focus on launching the "Gen 3" electric car, a smaller, less-expensive EV for the mass market. Musk says he hopes to have the “Gen 3” out sometime in 2015.

    • This is one of the great stupid things about people that are book smart, common sense stupid in that they think because they can afford to buy expensive exotic sport cars they can drive them crazy fast everywhere and the car will handle the turn, sadly one cannot deny gravity and physics. They get what they deserve when thinking they are better than others cause they can afford the exotic auto. Sad that humanity lost his skill in game making.
    • Rolls seem to be bought more by the look at me, look at me crowd now.
    • Re: Angeles Crest..I've driven it a couple times when I was playing tourist in LA (both times in rentals--once in an early 00s Nissan 350Z, once in an early 00s Lincoln Town Car)...it's a beautiful road, but with a lot of hairpin turns and blind corners, some drivers and motorcyclists take unnecessary chances and drive recklessly.  I've seen seen it in a lot of car review videos and movies also over the years. 
    • This is Angeles Crest Highway, right after a tunnel...    Ive never been to California but Ive seen many videos on youtube of this exact location that I googled and posted here.  It seems to me that this is a death stretch of road.  Many videos of all kinds of cars going really really fast in the tunnel and they come out and go boom!!! Near death accidents but some actual gruesome deaths too. The latest death...Vince Zampella, co-creator of Call of Duty video game.   I got a video, but I will not post it as it shows the accident in full detail and his passenger being ejected and dragged by bystanders clear of the fiery wrecked Ferrari.  And its as clear as it could be. Nothing blurred.    I was wonderin' Why do people INSIST on speeding like with crazy amounts of speed on public roads and especially on stretches of roads where deaths do happen? 55 years old and his passenger unknown to the public. Just before Christmas where even atheists acknowledge the importance of the 25th of December which is about family and friends and love.  And these two guys are now dead and leave behind friends and family morning for them instead of celebrating their lives full of love with them.   *sigh*       
    • Yeah, the stupid f*ckers that are in the KY bourbon industry all voted for Trump, and now they are whining about the tariffs destroying their business.  F them, they got what they voted for.  Same with the whiny-ass Midwestern farmers that voted for Trump.  You reap what you sow..
