The 2010 Tesla Roadster is a battery electric vehicle (BEV) and an impressive nod to Tesla's approach to emissions-free driving. The Roadster set a standard for Tesla's electric drivetrain innovation with a sleek, carbon fiber body and impressive performance numbers. Its AC induction motor delivers 288 horsepower and goes from 0-60 mph in under 4 seconds. The Roadster has a single-speed transmission and offers an EPA-rated range of 244 miles. Inside, the cabin contains a touch screen with basic infotainment essentials, such as Bluetooth and navigation. As one of Tesla's first models, it laid the groundwork for the performance, luxury, and electric ranges we see in their cars today.
