Neptune ◊ 2008-02-23 05:46	I think Lotus and Tesla worked together on the car (which may explain why they look similar)
MBSL65fan ◊ 2008-02-23 05:52	Yes. They were built in the same factory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Roadster Now I'm wondering why I thought of copycat.
MBSL65fan ◊ 2008-02-23 05:54	Oh God, just don't let the math confuse you.
