The 2010 Tesla Roadster hasn't been crash tested

2010 Tesla Roadster Sports Car UK-Version Electric Vehicle. UK companies that purchase a Tesla Roadster benefit from a 100 percent Writing Down Allowance, meaning they can deduct the price of the car from their taxable profits. The Tesla Roadster is the only sports car that has ever qualified for a such a tax incentive in the UK.

If Tesla can hang on for a few more months, additional help in the form of grants from the US Department of Energy and help from the State of California should begin to kick in. Moreover, with plans to build a midsize electric car at a new California factory within the next few years, the expanding Tesla franchise should attract additional investors to what many hope will be the biggest little electric car maker in the USA.
