I'd rather have the roadster. Either way, a joke someone on another board made about what he'd do if he had a silent car like a Tesla is worth repeating.
Swap in a train horn, paint it flat black, put IR-only bulbs in the low beams, put on night vision goggles so you can see the IR, sneak up on pedestrians in a poorly lit area at night, flip the high beams on, and lean on the horn.
That's a lot of work and expense for a practical joke... It would be a killer joke though.
