These past few days have had a flurry of information regarding Tesla’s transmission woes – however it was recently reported by Inside Line that Tesla has discovered a solution for their transmission problems and productions WILL begin March 17th. The Tesla Roadsters will be fitted with temporary two-speed transmissions and later upgraded to what Tesla is calling ‘DriveTrain 1.5.’ Production of the Tesla Roadster will take a while to get into full swing; initially the company will only be able to product one vehicle per week, but will creep into 40 cars per week by the end of the year.
In case you were wondering on the specs of this Electric Roadster:
- 0-60 in Under 4 Seconds
- 13,000 RPM
