    Although it was dirty, I spotted this car in a parking lot next to the gym I go to. It looks cool and fast!

    That actually looks like the original Tesla roadster, where they took a chassis/body of a Lotus and added the electric drivetrain.

    Yes, that's the original Tesla coupe; nowhere near new.

    Vague estimates of "years away" right now. The model Y and semi-truck are suppose to be ahead of it on the production schedule I believe.

    Tried posting as a new forum, I don't have capability. As for the Tesla, that would explain why its so dirty. I didn't know this was Tesla first car.
