The Tesla roadster. was Tesla's first car. Tesla considered it a fail, compared to the model S, and now the model X. The Tesla roadster got discontinued in 2012, when model S came out. Here are the specs and other facts about the Tesla roadster. The Tesla Roadster started production in 2008, and was discontinued in 2012.  The Tesla roadster now has an upgrade where it enables the car to go almost 400 miles on a single charge. Although only the people who already have it can do that. And, it costs 29,000 dollars to do that. Yes, the Tesla roadster did come with a convertible option.  People say that Tesla might come out with a new 2020 Tesla roadster. If they want to meet their goal of half a million cars by 2020, they will have to come out with more than just three cars. Also, they are planning on building their Gigafactories.  0-60 in 3.7. That is way behind the S. If you look at the roadster closely, it looks like a Lotus Elise . Click the link to view an Elise. (The L

White Tigers Are Critically Endangered!!! White tigers are critically endangered. There are only about 200 more White tigers left! The cause for this is because of habitat loss, poaching, and expansion of human population. Genetic inbreeding is an important reason why the white tigers are endangered. Inbreeding is breeding of closely related animals.Due to their short numbers, this species has resorted to inbreeding. This has caused high morality rates and severe disabilities. They also suffer from depression and unpredictable behavior. Still, they use inbreeding. Selective breeding is risky, and there is no guarantee of of birth of a cub every time. This is the scientific classification of a White tiger: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Felidae Genus: Panthera Scientific Name: Panthera tigris tigris Common Name: White Tiger Other Name(s): White Bengal Tiger This is a picture of a White Tiger:

The Tesla model X is a family friendly,  and and safe car. It seats 7, with 2 fold-able seats in the third row. The signature series, includes a 90 kWh battery pack, autopilot and self driving functions, and third  row seats. for 10,000 more dollars, ludicrous mode will be added to the X, making it go from 0-60 in  3.2   seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, for 1,000 more dollars, there is the subzero weather package, including heated steering wheel, seat heaters, heated washer fluid, and wiper defrosters. Also, for 750 more dollars, the car will be able to heave 5000 lbs. The falcon wing doors that the X has have sensors to keep them from slamming into walls, so it will stop at a certain point. I used Business Insider, and you can read the article  here. Check out Tesla's page while you'r
