Tesla Motors finishes cold weather testing of its roadster
Tesla Motors finished some cold weather tests of its new fully electric roadster due out some time in the later part of this year. There are three videos showing the car in action during their safety tests.
In January 2007 our engineers traveled with one of the prototype Tesla Roadsters to Arvidsjaur, Sweden, to perform ABS and other safety testing. Located 110 km south of the Arctic Circle, Arvidsjaur is one of Europe’s most extreme environments and a location favored by car manufacturers worldwide for cold weather testing. We used frozen lakes and remote roads in the area to put the Tesla Roadster through its paces. For a sample, check out the videos below. They demonstrate some of the traction control (which limits the amount of slip between the front and rear wheels) and ABS testing. |

I'm jealous of the guy who got to do that drive - that must've been one fun opportunity doing crazy power slides in that impressive machine.
Their site now says they're targeting Fall 2007 for delivery! It's coming... . |
