Performance Package Development Mule, Raw Carbon Fiber Body spec summary
THIS… is a 2011 Tesla Roadster, finished in raw carbon with a gray interior. Factory equipment included 16-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels, a carbon fiber hardtop, leather and suede upholstery, heated seats, an Alpine head unit, air conditioning, and cruise control. Tesla presented the Roadster, its first car, in July 2006 and it launched production in early 2008. Developing a convertible from scratch would have cost too much, so it started with a bare Lotus Elise shell that it re-engineered with an electric powertrain. Approximately 2,450 units of the Roadster were assembled in California until production ended in 2012. Power comes from an electric motor, which draws electricity from an 80-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack to zap the rear wheels with about 288 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, according to third-party estimates. Tesla claims the R80 battery pack gives the Roadster up to 340 miles of range.
