The Roadster has a parts overlap of roughly 6% with the Lotus Elise,[52] a 2-inch-longer wheelbase, and a slightly stiffer chassis according to Eberhard.[53] Tesla's designers chose to construct the body panels using resin transfer molded carbon fiber composite to minimize weight; this choice makes the Roadster one of the least expensive cars with an entirely carbon fiber skin.

Lotus are such pioneers in chassis and body design that their designs are used from 1st gen Tesla Roadster to agressively fast Hennessey Venom GT.
The Roadster has very little in common with the Elise, including completely different sub frames.
@@truantraythe sub frame is the same built on the same line it's just modified somewhat
The extruded bonded subframe has a big advantage in that relatively large modifications can take place very rapidly as long as it still fits on the jig
With the roadster the side members are bent in a similar way to Evora instead of curved as in Elise/Exige
The top edge is also cut down more to give easer access to the cabin
It has no petrol tank bay looking at the video here you can see the front part remains as this is the rear of the cabin
but most of it isn't there as it's where the battery now goes
At the top there's an extra plate to secure that front part
The car is longer this would've been done with a different rear subframe but mounting points to the main subframe would remain the same
Moving forwards from the dash panel forward it looks to very similar indeed
There's likely to be a hole or two which is/isn't there on the lotus cars meaning Tesla get to say that part is different but in reality they're basically the same part

Would hope so after living in a ac climate control garage. But the door bushings being worn out is a sign of low quality parts. Probably lots more wrong with the tesla cart.
@@Dat_Sun as Elon freely admits, they may have been "the iconic car" that made Tesla what it is today but there was a lot of lessons learnt while building that model that ensured the later models were a more polished and reliable experience.
@@hot_wheelz That has not been the case. Have you looked at the welds underneath of a Tesla? It's china grade construction, sad times we live in when this mass production e waste is looked at as the future when it's junk.
@@Dat_Sun hey I didn't say that they are the most high quality motor vehicle that money can buy, just that they learnt a lot of lessons during the process of producing this vehicle that went into process improvements in future models which is all demonstrably true.
Jerryrig waiting for ur durability and tear test on the new iphone 15 pro max.🎉🎉🎉🎉
Waoting eagerly for it. Please make the video on iphone 15 pro max tear down
Ah, I've always thought those early Teslas looked like a Lotus, now I know why! Interesting!
Awesome job zack thumb up .
I just love how you carried your wife through the isle at your wedding. You are so awesome ❤️
Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
I got to ride in one of these in 2010?2011? Some kid at my schools dad had one. I was gawking over it after reading about it in popular science magazines for a few years. Was cool to know I'm one of the very few that have had that opportunity. Such a cool car.
Tesla Roadster still looks more sport car than what they make now
The same model, not the car
Please spray some lubricant on your door hinges. Amazing how many people don't notice a dry hinge squealing... Oh, and new wiper blades will stop the "chattering" that old, dry, hardened blades make... :20
Where is iphone 15 pro
Squeaky door just adds to the Petina !
Still a beautiful car even though its 14 years old
Well, the body is a Lotus Elise with the Tesla logo and that design is pretty timeless.
@@bjrn-oskarrnning2740 Lotus Evora
This and the holy trinity are truly timeless
It's a Lotus Elise
Americans driving 120 mph: full track suit
me driving 200 km/h on the Autobahn head banging: getting honked at by Benzes and Porsches cuz I'm blocking the fast lane
@@JorgTheElder Autobahn is way beyond that of course.
it is not quite a usual sight where *"Jerry doesnt rig something"* 😅
Love your channel. I have a CNC machine shop in Australia so know how expensive equipment is. Good luck selling it. Maybe Elon will give you support and buy the car.
"Let's hear her start Zack"... little did he know it was an electric car lol
If every subscriber just sends you $1 I think you could afford that bender 😂
Yes, we all expected him to fly out past the moon and bring that specific Roadster back. Fully sponsored by SpaceX of course.
It's in the asteroid belt now
That part about the sound is so interesting considering Hans Zimmer was commissioned by BMW to make the noises their electric vehicles make. Kinda makes you scratch your head when you think about it.
Just me who didnt know Jerry owned one?
You have my admiration for wearing a casio f91w. A simbol of quality, value and modesty.
It’s a sad but good reason to sell, respect to you
