Okay. I love it. Except for the 2 speed clutchless manual. What is that? Make me one with a real 6 sp and a clutch but keep the high redline.

Feliz305- I guess you don't know the maker of the Tesla is. If you did, he can afford any exotic car out there. He is worth almost a billion dollars.

He built this car because he can.

Ever reliable sensor?? Maybe, electronics on cars don't fail as much as they used too. I sure hope not. My only wreck was due to a faulty MAP sensor that quit at a very bad time. Long story, but it wasn't any fun.

No big deal. Worried about the DS airbag? Find the circuit and install a switch if they don't provide one.

Good thing they got past that requirement with a waiver, but Lotus should have the common sense to develope speed sensitive airbags, not Tesla. With so many other auto companies having already done so, what the @&2&%& are they waiting for? Are they trying to cut costs? Getting cheap on passenger safety on $50,000+ cars?
