I'm sure many of you are aware of the Tesla Roadster by Teslamotors, but
I haven't seen it discussed in the archives. What you may NOT know is
that the car is actually assembled at the Lotus plant in Hethel,
England, and shares 6% of its parts with the Lotus Elite. So, does that
qualify it as an LBC?
What's amazing about this car is that it is a 100% electric vehicle,
goes 244 miles on a single charge, and get this, can accelerate from
0-60mph in 3.7 seconds! Nice.

NFI, other than the next time I have $100,000 lying around I don't need,
I might buy one! ;)
