The limited-edition “Signature One Hundred” series Tesla Roadster, the first high-performance electric car manufactured by Tesla Motors, has sold out in three weeks, confirming that the stylish, zero-emissions vehicle is a hit.
Unveiled last month before a throng of well-wishers and automotive enthusiasts in Santa Monica, CA, the Tesla Roadster is transforming the auto industry, proving that it is possible to deliver sports car performance in a handsome, environmentally friendly vehicle.
“Our goal in designing the Tesla Roadster was to build a car with zero emissions that people would love to drive,” said Tesla Motors co-founder and CEO Martin Eberhard. “Each of our Signature One Hundred customers could drive any flashy, fast, gas-powered car they want. Instead they did the right thing, investing in an attractive car that uses no oil and is responsible for far fewer greenhouse gases than the alternatives.”
Eberhard continued, “Getting a Signature One Hundred Tesla Roadster provides entry into a very exclusive group. These early customers are pioneers, helping lay a foundation that will make electric cars possible for everyone – enabling Tesla Motors to develop future models at price points that eventually work for every budget.”
Tesla Motors Chairman Elon Musk agreed. "Customers of the Tesla Roadster are doing something really good that goes beyond just buying a sports car, because their purchase helps pay for development of our affordable, mass market electric vehicles," said Musk. "Buying a Tesla Roadster is a vote against global warming and oil addiction."
