Tesla has released information of a sporty electric car, its hottest phenomenon, the racy-looking Roadster 2.5. It boasts a 250 mile maximum driving range.

However, some critics are cautious of Tesla’s ‘save-the-
Adam Lashinsky, senior editor of Fourtune, a very vocal critic, says "While Tesla drivers may pat themselves on the back because their cars don't emit foul greenhouse gases, half the electricity needed to charge the batteries that make the cars run comes from burning coal."
Wind power may represent around 3% of electricity production in the United States, coal accounts for about 50%.
Lashinsky believes “If people were to embrace electric cars in a big way, we'd likely make our emissions situation worse, not better, for all the coal we'd need to burn”.
While the company reports that the Roadster has a range of 236 miles on a single charge, it reports in its paperwork, ‘Recently, the EPA announced its intention to develop and establish new energy efficiency testing methodologies for electric vehicles, which we believe could result in a significant decrease to the advertised ranges of all electric vehicles, including ours.’
As of March 2010, Tesla had nearly 1,000 cars on the road. Its luxury sedan, the Model S, won't go into production until 2012. The company will start to wind down the newest model of its Roadster, before concentrating on the Model S.
While Tesla has yet to work out how to completely remove the automobile's carbon footprint, the car is visually impressive.
