5.0 out of 5 stars Received directly from Elon Musk at Tesla, Inc..., January 18, 2011

On the waiting list for a (full scale) Tesla, I recently received my Tesla RC Roadster straight from Elon; if having the real thing is just half as fun as having this 1:16 RC Model, then all is well worth the wait. Hot red, she charges with less than one kWHr ( a 9 volt battery, actually), offers 100 percent wrist torque, goes from Zero to 60 feet in seconds, and has a range of hundreds of yards on a single charge. Drop the Plastic Tailpipe. Enjoy.

This review is from: Tesla Roadster R/C Car 1:16 Scale (Toy)

My 8 year old daughter chose this as the vehicle of choice for Iron Man to start dating Polly Pocket. They had a great time in the speedy red car until that fateful moment when they accidentally drove off the deck.

It was only the first day of use and total delight over the car quickly changed to despair. The car doesn't work right anymore. Even with new batteries the charge seems to fade away within about 10 seconds and the car loses power. Something went badly wrong went it fell about 4 feet off the deck into the dirt.

It's probably not the best car for a beginning driver though the speed makes it much more fun than the kiddie cars. The other thing, am I asking too much to think it should be built well enough to survive a 4 foot fall? Seriously, We've never had one of these in our house before but it seems like it ought to be a little more durable.

If the car had survived the first day of use I'd be happy to give it 5 stars but I really think it should be built with a little durability if it's a car that says it's for an 8 year old.

I purchased this as a gift for Christmas and upon the gift being opened was disapointed with the quality of the driving experience. The controls seem to be all the way on (very fast) or off. Changing direction is difficult. There are much better RC cars out there.

On the plus side - it is a nice looking model. The driving experience is a let down.
