00:00:05
Roadster a Lotus Elise with a bunch of
00:00:08
double a batteries in it
00:00:10
don't be ridiculous they're not Double
00:00:12
A's they're 18 650s and besides doesn't
00:00:15
matter what you've read on the internet
00:00:16
this isn't just an electric Lotus Elise
00:00:19
in fact the Tesla Roadster shares one
00:00:22
tenth as many parts with the Elise as
00:00:25
you share jeans with Elon Musk and all
00:00:29
of you with one possible exception are
00:00:31
not Elon Musk because if you were Elon
00:00:34
Musk you'd know that this thing could
00:00:36
have been worth 35 million dollars
00:00:42
explanation well if the person who paid
00:00:45
a hundred thousand dollars for a Tesla
00:00:47
Roadster had instead bought a hundred
00:00:49
thousand dollars worth of Tesla stock it
00:00:52
would have been worth over 35 million
00:00:54
dollars when the car turned 11 years old
00:00:56
so this wasn't just not an electric
00:00:59
Lotus Elise it was also the world's
00:01:01
worst investment in
00:01:03
simultaneously the seed Capital to
00:01:06
create the most valuable automaker in
00:01:08
the history of the world and it did that
00:01:11
by tricking the coolest people in the
00:01:13
world car enthusiasts into believing
00:01:16
that an electric car wasn't a slow
00:01:18
miserable joke
00:01:19
because For the First time ever a car
00:01:22
that was electric wasn't
00:01:23
a slow miserable joke
00:01:25
[Music]
00:01:37
love or hate electric vehicles love or
00:01:40
hate Elon Musk the Tesla Roadster was an
00:01:43
incredibly well thought out ruse
00:01:45
engineered to trick the world's coolest
00:01:47
people car enthusiasts into allowing the
00:01:50
idea of change and this whole story
00:01:52
starts in Michigan with a motorcycle
00:01:54
engine kit car built at home by a Ford
00:01:58
engineer
00:02:00
this was the Pion Tech sport Tech in
00:02:03
1989 its creator Dave Pion Tech made the
00:02:06
first one in his garage it took him 2
00:02:10
000 hours and cost him fifteen thousand
00:02:12
dollars and used a welded steel tube
00:02:15
frame to mount a 1300 CC Suzuki twin cam
00:02:19
16 valve four-cylinder with a 5-speed
00:02:22
manual 150 horsepower plus nitrous and
00:02:25
just 1234 pounds to move it hit 60 miles
00:02:29
an hour in just four and a half seconds
00:02:32
exactly as quick as the world beating
00:02:35
giant slaying Corvette ZR1 which hadn't
00:02:39
yet even entered production pintek
00:02:41
ultimately wound up building six sport
00:02:43
techs one of which was purchased by a
00:02:45
Young Southern California company called
00:02:47
AC propulsion AC propulsion's mission
00:02:50
was to advance the art of the electric
00:02:52
car in other words to convince people
00:02:54
that electric cars warrant slow
00:02:56
miserable piles with barely enough
00:02:58
range to complete a marathon with which
00:03:00
is exactly what they were
00:03:03
AC propulsion was co-founded by one of
00:03:06
the engineers who had worked on the GM
00:03:08
impact the incredible show car that
00:03:10
eventually became the ev1
00:03:14
AC's own first car was called the t0
00:03:17
named for the mathematical symbol T Sub
00:03:19
Zero or the beginning the t0 was a Pion
00:03:23
Tech sport Tech converted to run on
00:03:25
electricity and it used 28 Optima Yellow
00:03:29
top lead acid batteries
00:03:32
this thing look this was January of 1997
00:03:36
and the only other electric car you
00:03:38
could buy you couldn't buy it you could
00:03:40
lease it but it was that very GM ev1
00:03:43
which had gone on sale just a month
00:03:44
earlier and it too ran on lead acid
00:03:48
batteries and for perspective on just
00:03:51
how revolutionary the ev1 was GM also
00:03:55
leased another electric car a Chevy S10
00:03:57
pickup converted to front-wheel drive
00:03:59
with an EPA range of 33 miles
00:04:04
walking distance that's why the GM ev1
00:04:08
was so revolutionary it could do 79
00:04:11
miles on a charge and the t0 could do
00:04:14
90. that was a hell of an achievement
00:04:16
this was his absolutely high tech as EVS
00:04:20
came
00:04:21
the t0 was also as fast as they came it
00:04:24
hit 60 in 4.1 seconds this is important
00:04:28
it was quicker than the 10 000 RPM
00:04:32
screaming nitrous injected Pion Tech AC
00:04:35
propulsion put 63 000 miles on the t0
00:04:38
and in the process got noticed by a
00:04:41
bunch of nerds
00:04:43
no not Elon not yet okay bear with me
00:04:47
because this sounds like a neighborhood
00:04:48
sitcom AC propulsions president had a
00:04:52
neighbor who drove an electric Toyota
00:04:54
RAV4 this was another one of those 1997
00:04:57
appearances of Elise only electric
00:04:58
vehicle anyway the RAV4 driving neighbor
00:05:01
worked with a nerd named Martin Everhart
00:05:04
who was a computer and electrical
00:05:06
engineer who had made some money and
00:05:08
wanted to drive a sports car but didn't
00:05:10
like the idea of destroying the planet
00:05:11
remember his name Martin Everhart
00:05:14
because he's a key player
00:05:17
anyway RAV4 dude introduces Eberhart to
00:05:21
the AC propulsion guy so he could test
00:05:23
drive a t-0 and Everhart wanted one but
00:05:27
Everhart wanted it to be even better so
00:05:29
he used his big brain to help AC
00:05:31
propulsion convert the t0 to run on
00:05:34
lithium ion batteries which are two
00:05:36
rungs up the ladder from those old lead
00:05:39
acid batteries
00:05:41
the next step up and the hottest craze
00:05:44
in Battery tech at the time was nickel
00:05:46
metal hydride the RAV4 used those custom
00:05:49
lithium ion batteries were by comparison
00:05:52
way more expensive so much so that they
00:05:55
weren't even a consideration for use in
00:05:57
cars except this was the Big Bang the
00:06:01
moment at which suddenly the electric
00:06:02
car became feasible instead of expensive
00:06:06
custom Prismatic batteries Eberhard came
00:06:08
up with the idea of using mass-produced
00:06:10
inexpensive off-the-shelf commodity
00:06:13
small format cylindrical batteries like
00:06:16
the kind you'd find in your laptop
00:06:19
[Music]
00:06:20
18650s to be precise 18 millimeters wide
00:06:24
65.0 millimeters long a bit bigger than
00:06:27
a double A put a bunch of these cells
00:06:30
into a liquid cooled enclosure and blemo
00:06:33
you have a big reliable inexpensive car
00:06:37
battery
00:06:38
the t0 used 6 000 of those 18650s and
00:06:43
still wound up weighing 500 pounds less
00:06:45
than the old version with the 28 yellow
00:06:47
tops in it and it got even quicker 0-60
00:06:50
was now unheard of 3.7 seconds but the
00:06:54
real sea change was in range which went
00:06:57
from 90 miles
00:06:58
to 300.
00:07:02
oh ladies and gentlemen we have liftoff
00:07:04
especially since
00:07:07
6800 lithium 18650s cost less than even
00:07:11
those fancy nickel metal hydride
00:07:13
batteries in the RAV4 and they contained
00:07:16
twice the energy
00:07:18
Everhart took that t0 back up to
00:07:20
Northern California and drove it for
00:07:22
three months as his daily all the while
00:07:24
trying to convince the AC propulsion
00:07:26
guys to put the thing into regular
00:07:28
production and they said no they were
00:07:31
working on an electric conversion of the
00:07:33
Scion XP called the e-box that would be
00:07:36
the way to save the planet they thought
00:07:38
an electric commuter car has far more
00:07:40
earth-saving potential than a low volume
00:07:43
sports car right
00:07:45
wrong
00:07:47
well have you ever seen an e-box right
00:07:50
even though Tom Hanks bought one thing
00:07:52
is the Nerds really needed something
00:07:54
sexy to convince the world that EVS
00:07:57
could work so Everhart came up with the
00:08:00
name and Incorporated Tesla Inc the
00:08:02
company's guiding principles were to
00:08:04
make EVS that weren't compromised in
00:08:07
fact they should be even better than
00:08:08
their internal combustion counterparts
00:08:10
and they had to appeal to even the most
00:08:12
die-hard car enthusiasts like you ended
00:08:16
me and now you can finally enter Elon Musk
00:08:20
with his McLaren F1 flush with cash from
00:08:22
his sale of PayPal Elon also test drove
00:08:26
a t-0 and he also wanted to buy one and
00:08:30
he also tried to convince AC propulsion
00:08:32
to commercialize it
00:08:34
and once again they just pointed towards
00:08:36
their e-box but they did one thing very
00:08:38
right they introduced Elon Musk to
00:08:41
Martin Everhart this was where the
00:08:43
rubber really hit the road though
00:08:45
eberhardt had already been talking to
00:08:48
Lotus about building a lightweight
00:08:50
chassis
00:08:51
after all Lotus had the patent on bonded
00:08:54
and extruded aluminum chassis design the
00:08:56
little Elise was a great place to start
00:08:59
but it didn't end with the Elise don't
00:09:01
forget Lotus was as much an engineering
00:09:04
consultancy as it was a car maker and
00:09:06
its little black book of clients
00:09:08
included everybody which gave Tesla
00:09:11
access to suppliers who would have
00:09:13
otherwise never taken their call
00:09:16
bonjour thank you for calling Michelin
00:09:18
Tires
00:09:19
you what what is an Elon Musk that
00:09:24
smells it sounds disgusting you should
00:09:26
take care of it with Lysol
00:09:28
[Music]
00:09:30
so Tesla worked together with lotus to
00:09:33
make enormous substantive changes to the
00:09:35
elise's chassis though some of the
00:09:37
engineering and Manufacturing
00:09:38
fundamentals stuck around the details
00:09:41
didn't in the end not all that much
00:09:44
Elise remains in the Roadster its side
00:09:47
Sills are 1.6 inches lower so humans can
00:09:50
actually get in and out and it has a
00:09:52
wheelbase two inches longer than the
00:09:54
elisas both for a better ride and more
00:09:56
space for the battery
00:09:57
the glass wiper mirrors steering column
00:10:00
front suspension wishbones rollover
00:10:02
structure and soft top are pretty much
00:10:05
it they may look a lot alike especially
00:10:07
from the waist up but the Lotus Elise
00:10:10
and Tesla Roadster share only seven
00:10:12
percent of their parts
00:10:13
to put it in perspective any two humans
00:10:16
share 99.6 percent of their DNA we like
00:10:20
to think of ourselves as individual
00:10:21
snowflakes
00:10:23
The Styling was done by Barney Hatt at
00:10:26
Lotus the entire body was carbon fiber
00:10:29
even the bonded front crash structure
00:10:32
was made of carbon unlike the Elise and
00:10:34
its cumbersome fiberglass clam shells
00:10:36
the Roadster had removable bumpers and
00:10:39
fenders the chassis was built on the
00:10:41
same line as the Elise and then was put
00:10:44
in a plane and air freighted to Menlo
00:10:46
Park California where it became a
00:10:49
completed Tesla the missing piece was of
00:10:52
course the powertrain starting with
00:10:56
6831 of those little laptop batteries a
00:10:59
thousand pounds worth they were put into
00:11:01
an enclosure that was bolted in becoming
00:11:03
a structural member and making this
00:11:05
thing's chassis stronger than that of
00:11:07
the Elise all of those electrons flowed
00:11:10
to a 248 horsepower motor through a
00:11:12
Power Electronics module licensed from
00:11:15
you guessed it AC propulsion
00:11:18
not that one this one is a later car and
00:11:20
it's different
00:11:22
in order to get a top speed approaching
00:11:25
130 miles an hour and have incredibly
00:11:27
quick acceleration the Roadster needed a
00:11:30
two-speed transmission it was supplied
00:11:32
by extract and would let the car get to
00:11:34
60 miles an hour in around 4 seconds in
00:11:37
first gear and then shift into second
00:11:40
and explode immediately the problem was
00:11:44
the transmission didn't have a clutch
00:11:46
the concept was to accomplish the shift
00:11:48
using motor control but the motor speed
00:11:51
took too long to come down and so
00:11:53
absorbing the rotational inertia of a 13
00:11:57
000 RPM electric motor was just Way
00:12:00
Beyond the physical capabilities of the
00:12:01
transmission
00:12:02
alas
00:12:04
kaboom
00:12:06
so Tesla then switched to another two
00:12:08
speed this one made by Ricardo which had
00:12:10
two clutches it would also get the
00:12:13
Roadster to 60 in first gear and then
00:12:15
attempt to bang off a shift within 0.3
00:12:18
seconds emphasis on the word bang
00:12:20
because what would actually happen is
00:12:22
the second gear clutch would explode
00:12:24
sending shrapnel through the gear set
00:12:25
and
00:12:26
boom
00:12:28
race to get a working two-speed was on
00:12:31
and it wound up being won by Electronics
00:12:34
a new igbt or insulated gate bipolar
00:12:37
transistor allowed sufficient current
00:12:39
flow to hit both Tesla's 0-60 goal and
00:12:43
its top speed Target without using
00:12:46
multiple gears the transmission became a
00:12:48
simple single speed made by Borg Warner
00:12:51
which just proves the old saying third
00:12:53
is a charm
00:12:55
crisis averted right no because the big
00:12:58
problem was the EPA test procedure had
00:13:01
been returning a range of 182 miles far
00:13:04
fewer than the 250 mile range that Tesla
00:13:07
had been promising all of the people who
00:13:09
plunked down a hundred thousand dollars
00:13:11
on a still to be produced Roadster
00:13:14
[Music]
00:13:16
this is where Tesla really
00:13:18
differentiated itself from every
00:13:20
traditional car maker on the planet any
00:13:23
of them would have just kept its mouth
00:13:24
shut covered everything up and wound up
00:13:26
in court Tesla overshared it sent a
00:13:30
letter to all of the order holders
00:13:31
saying hey you know we're not going to
00:13:33
hit 250 miles but we promise we'll at
00:13:36
least hit 200. this though they didn't
00:13:39
even know how they'd get to 200. we all
00:13:42
know Elon Musk has perhaps the worst
00:13:44
over-promiser and under deliverer in the
00:13:47
industry except in those cases where he
00:13:50
under promises and then vastly over
00:13:52
delivers conventional wisdom would solve
00:13:54
both of those problems by telling Elon
00:13:56
to just shut up but that seems like
00:13:59
something he's incapable of doing and it
00:14:02
saved Tesla because when reservation
00:14:04
holders for the Roadster would get
00:14:06
really pissed off that it was months and
00:14:09
months and months behind schedule Elon
00:14:11
opened up and became a human being to
00:14:14
them he called the town hall and he said
00:14:17
to them he admitted that engineering a
00:14:19
car was and I quote like eating icky and
00:14:22
glass and then he continued not just a
00:14:24
little bit of glass like eating a glass
00:14:26
of bologna sandwich
00:14:27
and then he personally promised to pay
00:14:31
back each and every one of those
00:14:32
reservation holders if Tesla couldn't
00:14:34
deliver the Roadster
00:14:35
and when pressed on whether he'd be able
00:14:37
to afford to do it he said fine if I
00:14:39
can't then I'll work for the rest of my
00:14:41
life to pay you back
00:14:43
imagine a Ford executive saying
00:14:46
something like that
00:14:47
foreign
00:14:49
Tesla had a Blog where they shared the
00:14:51
Engineering Process with customers and
00:14:53
they shared the news every time they
00:14:55
invented a way of getting more range a
00:14:57
couple more miles here with rollback
00:14:59
brake caliper seals that pried the pads
00:15:01
off the surface of the rotor a couple
00:15:03
more there with some tire pressure
00:15:05
changes and a few more over here by
00:15:07
geniusly having the computer super cool
00:15:10
the battery when in range mode using
00:15:12
Mains power so the battery wouldn't have
00:15:14
to use its own power to cool itself the
00:15:17
engineering Solutions were genius but
00:15:20
the honesty even more so by involving
00:15:23
customers in the process good and bad
00:15:26
Elon created an army of people who
00:15:29
believed in his company because they
00:15:31
could see that Tesla was genuinely
00:15:33
trying and then of course Tesla over
00:15:36
delivered on all of its promises anyway
00:15:39
the Roadster didn't just barely eke out
00:15:42
200 miles of range it was rated at 244
00:15:45
and it was a revelation Revelation
00:15:48
Revelation Revelation I found this out
00:15:51
in 2009 when I was the first person to
00:15:54
convince Tesla to give a journalist a
00:15:56
multi-day loan of the Roadster I pitched
00:15:58
the story to my editors at Automobile
00:16:00
Magazine as a way to show that this
00:16:02
Silicon Valley show knew nothing
00:16:04
about how to build a car and I would
00:16:07
prove that you'd have to be a to
00:16:09
buy one of these things over a Lotus
00:16:11
Elise which cost half as much
00:16:14
boy was I wrong I loved it and I
00:16:17
remember saying that out loud to myself
00:16:19
within 500 feet of leaving the Tesla
00:16:21
Factory sideways doing a small burnout
00:16:23
across a couple Lanes of traffic
00:16:24
arriving at a red light right next to a
00:16:27
cop who hadn't even noticed me cop
00:16:29
doesn't hear it you didn't do it over
00:16:32
the course of five days I drag raced it
00:16:34
I went grocery shopping in it I put it
00:16:36
on a dino I tore up the back roads I
00:16:39
bought my house in it and during the
00:16:41
concluding photo shoot I learned that
00:16:42
Michael Jackson had died it was a hell
00:16:45
of a week from my notes this story was
00:16:48
supposed to examine whether I could
00:16:50
force myself to live with an EV for a
00:16:53
whole week now I don't want to live
00:16:55
without one
00:16:56
I was the biggest skeptic there is and
00:16:58
yet I'm a complete convert
00:17:01
and an idiot
00:17:03
the interior was stunning way nicer than
00:17:06
any Lotus Elise especially this late
00:17:08
Roadster with its gorgeous full leather
00:17:10
cabin I even love the noise those
00:17:13
transmission gears made a were and that
00:17:16
was by design it was such a cool noise
00:17:18
that the producers of the 2008 Dark
00:17:20
Knight film put a Tesla Roadster on a
00:17:23
Dyno sampled its sound and used it as
00:17:26
the basis for the soundtrack of Batman's
00:17:28
batpom
00:17:31
everybody loved the Tesla Roadster
00:17:34
except for the accounts it sold for
00:17:36
about a hundred thousand bucks but
00:17:37
Tesla's bill of materials was a hundred
00:17:40
and forty thousand dollars meaning this
00:17:43
wasn't just a bad investment relative to
00:17:45
the hundred thousand dollars of Tesla
00:17:46
stock you could have bought instead of
00:17:48
one of these it was a money loser for
00:17:50
Tesla itself
00:17:53
But ultimately what it did was show car
00:17:55
enthusiasts that electric sports cars
00:17:57
could be faster than combustion sports
00:17:59
cars which opened the door for the model
00:18:01
S which showed car enthusiasts that an
00:18:03
electric luxury sedan could be faster
00:18:05
than a hyper car which then showed the
00:18:08
world that an electric car would be cool
00:18:10
so long as it isn't a golf cart with a
00:18:13
license plate on it like the e-box would
00:18:16
have been look AC propulsion had the
00:18:18
technology but it was Eberhard and Elon
00:18:20
enthusiasts who understood that a shift
00:18:23
to electric vehicles couldn't happen
00:18:25
quickly but the electric vehicles had to
00:18:28
be quick to make them cool and then once
00:18:31
they were cool normal people might want
00:18:33
to drive them if you don't think an
00:18:36
electric sports car is cool
00:18:38
because you haven't driven a Tesla

Description:

This is the story of the Tesla Roadster — and thus, the beginnings of Tesla, which has grown to be the most valuable automaker in history. If you like this content, consider becoming a member of Hagerty Driver's Club! More info here: https://www.hagerty.com/drivers-club/?aff=prt_hdc Tesla's promised new roadster is a very different thing — this Roadster went into production at a time when electric vehicles weren't just in their infancy, they were a joke, disregarded by enthusiasts and regular customers alike. The story begins with the Piontek Sportech, which was a home-built tube-frame sports car created by Ford Engineer Dave Piontek in his garage in Michigan. It used a 1300-cc Suzuki 4-cylinder motorcycle engine (with Nitrous injection) and could hit 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds, weighing only 1234 lb. A California-based startup called AC Propulsion bought one of the Sport-Techs and converted it to run on Optima Yellow-Top lead-acid batteries. They called it the tZero, and a prospective customer, Martin Eberhard, drove it and wanted to buy one — but only if it used Lithium-Ion batteries. Bypassing the expensive Nickel-Metal-Hydride batteries that were leading edge, Eberhard helped AC Propulsion go straight to small-format cylindrical Lithium-Ion batteries, which had vastly more capacity, were much lighter, and were ultimately cheaper. The result was 60 mph in 3.7 seconds, and a newly minted millionaire named Elon Musk wanted one, too. He joined forces with Eberhard, who had created Tesla Inc., and they worked directly with Lotus to extensively modify the Elise to become the Tesla Roadster. In the end, the Elise's fundamentals remained, but the details didn't, and the Roadster emerged its own car. Tesla, at the same time, emerged the most valuable car company in the world. And the Roadster became the proof-of-concept that showed enthusiasts that an electric car could be fast and fun. Next up was the Model S, the first part of the the S3XY product line that has catapulted Lotus to previously unknown valuations. And it all started here. === Subscribe to our YouTube channel for new videos every day! https://www.youtube.com/hagerty?sub_confirmation=1 Visit our website for daily automotive news, cars stories, reviews, and opinion: https://www.hagerty.com/media/ Stay up to date by signing up for our email newsletters here: https://www.hagerty.com/media/newsletter/ Follow us on social media: Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/unsupportedbrowser Instagram | https://www.facebook.com/unsupportedbrowser Twitter | https://twitter.com/Hagerty If you love cars, you belong with us.
