Just read about Tesla possible using capacitors to provide a turbo boost. Don’t know how they would deal with the extra heat, but it’d be cool if they figured it out.

Well, that won’t really be considered a turbo, since a turbo will require a turbine? or am I wrong? haha. j/k I sound like an ass. I found another cool Tesla motor clip. I would give an arm and a leg to have this car. since I can still drive with an arm and a leg :] [http://www.thetidy.com/blog/2008/04/14/tesla-roadster-electric-car-that-goes-0-to-60-in-39-seconds/](http://www.thetidy.com/blog/2008/04/14/tesla-roadster-electric-car-that-goes-0-to-60-in-39-seconds/) ---

I don’t think heat would be much of an issue because the voltage boost wouldn’t be for very long. ---

I have never really been into cars, but seriously this thing gets me excited. Honestly while $92k is no cheap car by any stretch of the imagination, it’s probably worth it in cool factor alone. ---
