Saw this Tesla Roadster at Whole Foods in Southpark. Not sure if this was a special version or not, so apologies if I put this under the wrong model.

Thanks Tom. No I haven't posted it on ES yet, but I will once the car week uploads die down a bit.

@NCspotter, I hope Tesla creates another two seat car for the future. it would really be a road rocket. Great pics Nick.

@Horse-Power thanks West! I can't imagine there isn't one in Tesla's pipeline somewhere.

@NCspotter. Hi Nick. So what are your thoughts on Turbo charged cars, and full electric ones? I have driven a few Tesla models, sadly not this Roadster though. Earlier in the year I did experience something that I thought would never become a reality in a car. No it's not having a threesome lol. Or even a flying one. Having a car drive for you. Driving down the Interstate with no hands, or feet. It was just mind blowing. The speed she can do is over the top as well. Just an amazing experience. Turbos make so much power, however nothing make the overall driving experience in a exotic car like a screaming normally aspirated exhaust. Have a great weekend brother, and I will talk with you soon.

@Horse-Power I think that turbos are great in theory, but the turbocharged cars I've had a chance to just haven't been very well executed. Just too much turbo lag and resonance, and the turbos really dampen the sound of the engine. I'm sure that they are much better in high line cars though. I think electric cars are interesting, and for many people they work just as well as ICEs, but I will always prefer a good naturally aspirated gas engine. I can't imagine being a passenger in the driver's seat though, that would just seem strange! Stay cool, and I'll talk with you later.
