And I thought the AC Propulsion tZero was cool, check out Tesla Motors’ Roadster which was announced on the 19th:

Features:

• Electric Drive-train (AC)
• Advanced Lithium-Ion battery pack.
• 250 mile range
• Optional hard top
• Available in Black or White (among others)
• And more...

This looks very much like the 1995 Toyota MR2 Electric Conversion I’ve considered in the past. If it turns out it really has a 250 mile range, I may have to try to raise a little capital!

Seriously, though, they’ve got some other good information on their site, even if it’s glossed over a little bit for marketing purposes. They have a blog as well.

Update: Somewhere in the $80-120k range when it’s first released (via Autoblog).
