Google founders Larry Page and Sergei Brin dumped millions of dollars into the new Tesla Roadster, an all-electric sports car that looks like a Lotus and drives like a Maserati. Watch as we take the first one for a spin around Silicon Valley. It’s eco-friendly, and oh-so-fast! And for just 0000, you, too, can have one of your very own!

@enslaveren Of course it won’t be 100% clean but it is much better than producing gas guzzling cars.
November 7th, 2011 at 6:57 pm
Everyone who calls electric cars 100% clean mistakes a little. did the energy for this car was obtained clean also? doesnt matter where to burn oil – on electroplant and then charhe ur car or directly in a motor =)

Kudos to the chumps at Tesla for taking the petty route, bringing a suit against Top Gear for what THEY consider libel. The most ironic part is that this ridiculous accusation demeans their name more than Top Gear ever could have. Google “Tesla Top Gear libel” and find Top Gear’s response for the real story

@drtyfknmouth I just got back from a tesla dealership in Manhattan and I think most of your criteria is met now. With their new charging system, it takes 3.5 hours to charge and has a range of 245 miles. As far as a Buying a Ferarri that matches that takeoff speed, one would have to purchase the Ferarri f50 for $660,000. Although they have increased the range time and decreased the charge time, I think this car will need somewhere around 200 miles for every hour charged to be successful.

100000 dollar is 1 8th the price of my house that is a lot but my house is a lot as well I know some houses that are worth less then 100000
November 7th, 2011 at 9:53 pm
@moh2o Well, I love the idea of an all electric car. BUT, until it can go more than 100 miles without having to be recharged, & that recharge doesn’t take a half a day, & there are places to charge it up, like gas stations, that are as numerous as gas stations (otherwise, you gonna pull into a total strangers driveway & ask to plug in for 10.5 hours?), & until a drivable version of a production car is much more affordable than now, I’m afraid the electric car is simply an expensive novelty.
November 7th, 2011 at 10:41 pm
moh2o is exactly right! So quit bitchin about the price the more successful the tesla models are the lower the prices will get, maybe.
November 7th, 2011 at 11:12 pm
To me, $120K is a lot of money. I think it is too for many people. It’s not that the Roadster isn’t worth it. Tesla is a start-up company that doesn’t have the resources to mass produce cars for less money like GM or Toyota. But you are right. An electric car that goes 0-60 in 4.5 seconds (faster than an M3), goes 240 miles without using a drop of gasoline, and only costs $7.00 to charge-up is really damn worth it.

Its super fun to drive. We booked into the test drive tour when it hit Arizona and got to take the car out for an hour. Too bad we had a very rare rain day here in Scottsdale, but it was still a blast. The car is really fun to drive, but very hard to get in and out of if you are over 6 ft. I have vids on my page – thanks..

November 8th, 2011 at 5:03 am
@jn558718 I guess dealers could put in an aggregate on the sale whenever this would be the case
You can charge the car with an aggregate all the time and still would have decent mileage I guess. Did anyone do math on this?

Its just been approved for arrival in Canada at a price tag of $125,000.00 CDN per unit. And if it is reminiscent of a Mazda Miata that’s because the former Mazda director of design; Franz von Holzhausen have been salvaged by Tesla Motors in Califonia.

@appleintosh Just a piece of advice, even with a gas power mower you should pick up sticks first. Sticks will dull any blade. Plus, these lawn mowers save way more money than a $750 John Deere mower.
November 8th, 2011 at 10:22 am
This mower is awesome for my suburban lawn. I love it so much I bought my parents one. It is so quiet I can mow at 3 am when the weather cools down and the neighbors never know. It is so easy to push that with my bad knee, back, and wrists even I can still do it. Best mower i have ever owned!
November 8th, 2011 at 11:04 am
I hate these things. They are really hard to push, are impossible on a hill, and if you hit a stick the blade jams and you have to waste 5 minutes taking it out and fixing the blade. That why I switched to a John Deere 5hp gasoline mower with FRONT WHEEL DRIVE!!
November 8th, 2011 at 11:14 am
what is the name of the song that plays in the background? =)
November 8th, 2011 at 11:41 am
yeh right when your tooling along with this thing and hit a stick and do a flip over the bars you will know it. ive done that it sucks dont run with it.
November 8th, 2011 at 12:24 pm
Just bought one. Works as described – but see other youtube reviews of this product to get a better idea.
November 8th, 2011 at 12:41 pm
@DonutWilliam it costs $200+shipping online

@poopstreek Just fyi. Going green is about creating a healthier environment – simply clean air and water. Maybe we are not causing global warming, but we are causing costly health problems; cancer, respiratory, etc. thanks to what we put in the air, our water, and the food chains that we inevitably eat.

where can i buy this in europa?
November 8th, 2011 at 5:02 pm
They sell this mower at my Walmart in Norwalk. CT fot $200.
November 8th, 2011 at 5:29 pm
an ordinary reel mower would cost $200. but the momentum is a new model so i would say it will cost 3 or 4 hundred dollars. i hope you find this helpful.
November 8th, 2011 at 5:40 pm
how much would this cost?
November 8th, 2011 at 5:59 pm
i can sharpen normal reels for 100 bucks, but when i sharpen the one on my gas mower with a normal double cut bastard file. the file was 4.00 i buy my spark plugs in bulk, so 16 of them are about 20 bucks. plus it is an ooold 2 stroke lawn boy. so all in all considering i have to sharpen reels once every year( because if you hit one rock it nicks the blade) it is cheaper to run my gas mower
November 8th, 2011 at 6:36 pm
Does anyone fave experience with a push reel on common bermuda? I have a tru-cut 20″ powered reel but I want to try one of these for a little exercise. Are they effective or should I stick with the powered unit? I have 4500sf that is mowed every 2-4 days. I want it to look like a tee box. Can these units cut as well as a residential powered reel?
November 8th, 2011 at 7:00 pm
It adjusts from 1″ to 4″ height. That’s what I wanted to know! No other push powered reel mower I know of will go 3″, let alone 4″.
My lawn will be nice & green but uneven, so I mow it using the highest setting on my current reel mower, 2″, then the lawn is all brown the next day because it’s too short. Aargh!!
November 8th, 2011 at 7:15 pm
Maclane makes a good residential power reel mower Or Locke or National for riding reel mowers
November 8th, 2011 at 7:41 pm
@daw162 OMG, I tottaly agree with you, I have a reel mower and it won’t cut longer grass ends up making a crapy job. Thinking to go back to gas. Was hoping to find a video that shows how to cut longer grass but did’nt find any ;-(
November 8th, 2011 at 8:22 pm
@daw162 I just can’t find a residential grade powered reel mower though. Only oldies or commercial. I’d like a Brill gas powered one, ideally. No touch, nicely built.
