Buyers get a $42,000.00 tax credit on a 2010 Tesla Roadster in Colorado

Give me four minutes and we'll give you the scoop.

$42,083.00...now that's a number that can take your breath away especially if that's how much money you can save by purchasing an all electric car..

That's also happens to be the size of the tax credit that Colorado residents who purchase the new and of course all electric Tesla Roadster will earn if they purchase the pioneering EV car by the end of the year.

But before you rush out and buy your you might want to keep in mind that the new Tesla Roadster starts at a base price o $109,000.00 and goes up from there.

But even at such super supercar sticker, last week Tesla sold six cars in Colorado and that despite the fact that their new showroom in the heart of Boulder, Colorado's downtown is not yet open for business

The generous tax incentive could be one of the reasons why Tesla Motors is opening up a retail location in Boulder this week and is now offering test drives to any potential customers.

So how does an all electric car drive that's completely powered by just a tad under 7000 laptop batteries?

Just watch the video and find out:
