Tesla Roadster Specs, Electric Power & Dimensions (2006–2012) — First Generation
The first-generation Tesla Roadster combines open-top sports-car driving with electric power. If you are considering one, battery condition and charging arrangements deserve as much attention as its performance potential.
Tesla Roadster horsepower tells only part of the performance story: its electric motor responds strongly from low speeds. The rear-wheel-drive powertrain uses a single-speed transmission, giving you acceleration without conventional gear changes. That immediate response makes smooth accelerator inputs especially useful when grip is limited.
