The Shelby Cobra of the EV World!

2011 Tesla Roadster Sport 2.5 2dr Convertible (electric DD)
Carrol Shelby’s dream was to put a large American V8 into the lightweight AC Bristol and go racing. Elon Musks idea was to put a powerful AC motor into a lightweight Lotus chassis and change the world. Both achieved their goals and are destined to go down in history and up in price. I wrote this review a couple of years ago when nice Roadsters we’re selling for $50k. Today, they are … nearly double that and continue to rise. As Tesla comes closer to its mission of accelerating the world to sustainable energy the original Roadsters will become even more collectible.
