Tesla Roadster 2.5 – roadster with a revised face

The Lotus Elise-based Tesla roadster has undergone a facelift and is now called the Roadster 2.5. The revisions are minor and are centered on the front and back end of the car.

In front, the roadster gets a new reshaped grille with diffusing vents while the back gets a rear diffuser reflecting the future of Tesla’s design. This sits on forged wheels which are available in silver and black.

Inside, the seats feature greater comfort with larger supportive bolsters and a new lumbar support system while an optional 7-inch touchscreen display with a back-up camera. Not that the car was noisy to start off with, but they have added a new front fender liner material which makes the cabin even quieter.

The Roadster 2.5 is set to be unveiled at the new Copenhagen and Newport Beach, CA dealerships. You can view a picture gallery of the roadster after the jump.

      The import duty should be like an electrical appliance.
      Road rax should be RM 0.00 for a 0.00 cc car!

    Its nice…But …

    Its an electric EV sports car…

    Anyone did a research on how long this can last:???

    Haa…it may shock you…Not very long though….Not practical in our country which is so large like us…Maybe more for cities like KL, Penang instead…
