The Tesla Roadster promises to be one of the electric cars that wouldn’t run like it’s running on a food processor’s motor. It claims to break the four-second naught to sixty number in terms of acceleration. While these are all really promising, the Tesla Roadster has met good market demand.

Bad news for Tesla fans, though, full production of the Roadster has been pushed back. An initial run will be made late this year in time for delivery by the first quarter of 2008. Only when Tesla verifies those cars, will they go all out with the production next year. 600 more Tesla Roadsters will be rolled out by the end of 2008.

The good news is that, the Tesla Roadster will go the distance. Literally. Prototypes yielded varying results ranging from 200 to 250 miles. The latest EPA test revealed something closer to the initial 250 mile range with 245 miles - 252 miles city and 236 miles highway (see how electric cars go inverse the may petroleum fueled cars).
