This swoopy sports car posts a 0-60 time of 4.0 sec and a quarter mile of 12.7 sec at 105.3 mph. With its 950 lb. of lithium-ion batteries, it handles like a well-ballasted Lotus Elise. No surprise and no mere hype: The Tesla Roadster is the Porsche 911 of EVs. Its cockpit's roominess profits from the slenderness of its center console. Its dashboard contains EV wizardry such as a Vehicle Display System featuring five operational modes: Maximum Performance, Maximum Range, Standard, Storage and Valet (this last one, with limited performance and range, has also been tagged "Teenage Son Mode"). Guess which setting we'd choose?
