I really would like to see the Roadster priced closer to the Boxster or Z4, they should loose the carbon fiber and go aluminum. Still the updates look fantastic and it is still the best EV ever produced.

They'll get cheaper as the technology does. At this early stage being the "best EV ever" doesn't say a great deal, seeing as it's beaten a G-Wiz and some converted compacts. As cars like the SLS E-Cell and Audi e-Tron (and probably a BMW sports car with an "e" in front of it) appear, the Tesla will truly be tested.

@mikeado I said best produced. Until Mercedes produces the E-Cell or Audi does the same with their e-Tron the Tesla Roadster will remain. And as for beating other cars, it does accelerate better than a lot of petrol cars and has won a few timed events. I think it's the best right now, mostly for showing people that electric cars don't have to be lame.

Saw it this afternoon, tried to do a full throttle start with other cars, just end up screeching the tires and take off silently, while every other car shouts about. lol

A software update and a few new hardware attachments? I'm sure it still costs 3 times as much as an equally fast Lotus though. It's still not the time to buy an electric car.

It's definitely the right time to buy an electric car. Being fast isn't the benchmark of a good EV. The roadster is essentially a marketing tool. Nissan Leaf just lit a fire under the EV market, and Toyata's stake in Tesla proves the urgency that the auto industry currently has.

Maybe if you must have one now, but it's like when HDTV was new, or like 3DTV now: They're only going to get cheaper and better, so personally I would still wait a couple of years before getting one.
Mind you, if everyone thought like that, no-one would buy them and they would never advance, so thank goodness a lot of people don't!
