Who said electric cars are no fun? With more than 300 km in range and performances that compare to the world’s most legendary sports cars, the Tesla Roadster aimed to please. In fact, the only thing holding it back from widespread popularity was its $140,000 price tag. The Californian company has thus decided to discontinue its production and focus on the Model S, a more affordable electric vehicle.
