A world of change

No longer do you need to fantasize about buying a Tesla, now that Trexa has released pricing details of its “scalable lithium-drive platform,” (aka the base for building your own electric car).

$15,999 is a fair price to pay for the starting block of your new car, when other electric cars can set you back more than $100,000 (for a Tesla, anyway—Nissan’s Leaf costs around $30,000.) Still, who hasn’t dreamed of building their very own car? And as it’s electric, you’ll be saving the planet, and your wallet.

The starting price is for the base model, which has a top speed of 100mph, an acceleration of 0-60mph in 8 seconds, charge time of four hours and a 105 mile range. [Trexa]
