Tesla on Ebay

This is not Mopar but interesting.

Is this a Muscle car? Is it an Exotic?

These categories have some specific attitudes attached to them. Muscle cars have been the older stuff, but by the performance spec's it may qualify. The Exotics have their own definition and electric doesn't show up in a description of an exotic, but by the price it may be.

What will the common category be for these cars?

It's a tree hugger's need for speed.

I didn't check the link out yet but have followed some of Teslas cars. Had a coworker that was into hybrids and electrics so he turned me on to them a few yrs back. I'm one that likes the smell of fuel (gas) and melting tires so it's not for me. But it does create hope for the future, there will still be some performance available...

Cute, and while I might have originally agreed, these new hightech hotrods will beat any on the muscle cars we have and most of the gas powered exotics made today.

This thing fries the tires. You obviously haven't watched too close.

The thing is...... if you take it to the track, does it smell like all the gas burning muscle cars that are there too? That is one of the reasons why I go and watch...... for the smell.

Tire fryer yes, but not the smell of gasoline. Those two go together like PBand J.

Just rig it to leave a "back to the future"-esque trail of burning gasoline. It'll look good in the midnight runs! Of course, the track guys might not like you too much...

As for my two cents on the Tesla, I def like the looks (the lotus elise/exige have been my dream cars for years) and the performance is pretty kick-a__ from what I've read and seen on t.v. Do they come equiped like Lotus' with zero bells and whistles that add weight, or do they come comfortably equiped. I'm all for the "if it doesn't make it go faster, it don't need it" idea.
