> you'd swear it was a Lotus (yes, I know...)

I'm guessing the thing you know is that the Tesla is based on the Lotus Elise but did you also know that the Elise was released as an electric car waaaaay back in 1998? It had a limited top speed of 90mph, a range of 120mph and recharge time of 1 hour.
