Overview
Belonging to the midsize convertible segment, the 2011 Tesla Roadster Convertible carries all the qualities of a true electric vehicle. With a starting price of MSRP $109,000, the Tesla Roadster offers 2 trims. There is no direct competition due to the price range but cars like Nissan Leaf with a sizeable price difference can be considered an indirect rival. There aren't any powertrain options to explore here. The Tesla Roadster is equipped with a triple motor setup and a 56kWh battery with a rated power output of 288 horsepower. The Sports trim gets a bump to 295 lb-ft of torque from the 273 lb-ft of torque on the base trim. Through this setup, the Tesla Roadster gets a range of 245 miles. In a straight line, the Tesla Roadster clocks a 0-60 of 3.9 seconds. While the powertrain leaves you devoid of choices, the choice is instead offered through the 14 beautiful colors available for the car.
