The Tesla Roadster

In the 21st century automobile industry, the question weather the car is gas based or ecologically friendly is a major deal for the costumer. As the oil prices continue to soar up, oil based cars start to become a thing of the past, however, the term “car” will not pass into the books of history for indeed, a very long time. For this reason many different type’s of renewable fuel sources are being introduced to the market and this time, the car is not just a hybrid, but, 100% ecologically friendly and renewable. The car that is taking the first step toward this is the is the remarkable, Tesla Roadster. The Tesla Roadster 100% electric powered car. The car is powered by a 3-phase, 4 pole AC induction electric engine which receives its energy from several thousand lithium ion batteries capable of storing 53 kilowatt-hour worth of electricity. That amount of power is capable of accelerating the ELECTRIC car from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.9 seconds, taking the car beyond the acceleration of a Lamborghini Murcielago, without compromising for efficiency. The car also has a top speed of 125 mph (201 km/h). If compared to a regular car, the Tesla would have 135 miles per gallon, only that without polluting the environment. For this reason the Tesla Roadster has no exhaust pipe. The Tesla is capable of doing 220 miles on a full charge, something no other electric production car in the world can hope to achieve. You maybe thinking this is quite a short range, but remember that you can completely charge your car every night, by just attaching the charge cable. Also, remember that electric technology has only recently been introduced into the automobile industry (compared with gas based cars over 100 years) and the cars already have 220 miles per charge. It would be very likely that in the next 20 years, with the possible use of superconductors, we would see electric cars with 800+ miles per charge. Another advantage of electric cars is that by using electricity you get instant power, which relates to instant speed, something that internal combustion engines can not do. In addition, electric cars don’t produce much sound, making them much more quiet and calm. Yet, don’t get me wrong, push the pedal to the floor and you will instantly feel and hear the power at your disposal. The electric engine in the Tesla is also a bit larger than a watermelon, yet it can still defeat the massive Lamborghini engine. By having a smaller, lighter engine the car’s efficiency greatly improves. The Tesla also uses an advanced storage system known as the Energy Storing System. Here is were all you batteries are contained in a perfect environment, with many different sensors that give you a status report on the condition of your batteries and how much more mileage to you have. This system makes the car much safer and enjoyable to drive. Another very important characteristic of the Tesla Roadster is its design. The Tesla can be considered one of today’s most beautiful cars. It host very nice smooth straight lines that gives the car its futuristic look and catches your eye as if you were looking straight into the 21st century. The Tesla Motor company offers many distinctive and beautiful colors to pick from, making the car more customizable. The car has numerous intakes to cool the inside of your car and not allow for some components quite hot, like the brakes. Inside the Tesla is a world designed for the future of cars. The car’s interior contains some classic looks while integrating it with modern computer-systems and modern designs. The Tesla holds leather seats that make your drive more comfortable. The Tesla also poses a Visual Display System which gives you the possibility to ensure security in your car with a number of other functions. At the end this amazing car starts at $109,000 making it still a little expensive. However, after years of development we are finally starting to see its results, the introduction of various types of fuels for our energy thirsty society. By introducing this impressive technology we can only ensure a better, safer and happier future for all of us.
