I don't see it. I think you guys are insane... You're the second one to make this comparison today.
Every time a new sports car comes out someone makes a thread like this, and almost every time they look nothing alike. I guess a blind eye can make anything look similar?
Looks more like a Lotus Evora than an F-type. All nice looking cars in their own right. The Evora has ugly headlights though; like a kit car.
Was chuckling about the battery also. I'm sure if you floored it all the way to top speed (if special street tires are made for 250mph) and then let off the accelerator you better hope there would be a charging station at the next stop.
Surely IF this could really attain a speed of 250mph, you could literally watch the drain needle drifting downward toward empty. The amount of energy needed at full power would kill this in minutes. For example, at full throttle a Dodge Hellcat consumes 1.5 gallons of gas in under one minute.
Tesla can't even produce promised numbers of their model 3 (being sued for this as many gave sizeable non-refundable deposits). Plus the goofy semi-truck that would never be economically viable for any trucking company. The only user will be Tesla itself, if it ever really exists in the real world.
My guess is this roadster, if ever released as stated with these numbers, is many years away - 2020 my ***. If Musk spends less time chasing gold digger has beens and focuses 100% on his company, maybe 2030.

A lot of similar lines to me. Must be my attention to detail.
I think what he's saying is that every time a new car comes out, whatever forum you happen to be perusing, there's always "that guy" who thinks it looks like the car of that particular forum, no matter how far fetched it is. Usually a bunch of people pile on and wonder who is or isn't blind, and it deteriorates from there.
To be fair though, it really looks nothing at all like an f-type. It has much more resemblance and many more design cues which are similar to the NSX and really any number of other cars that could come to mind, but not at all like an f-type in my opinion. That is what I think brought on his comment, and now mine too. The details and overall shape of the vehicle would seem to support this viewpoint. No offense, but it almost seems like a "bait" thread to be honest.

Recently memory includes the LC500, Toyota Supra and Aston Martin DB11 threads which were all started by someone saying "these look exactly like an f type!". However, compared to your comments on the Tesla Roadster those looked like exact replicas; so its certainly not your attention to detail.

Yeah, no similarities whatsoever. Especially the rear end...the rear fender, rear window, side panels and side skirts. Nothing similar here folks. Move along.

I think it has a lot to do with understanding the difference between, "similar" versus "exact."
I think the Nissan Juke and Cube are ripping off the styling of the F-Type. I mean I love my Jag, but I could get a dozen of these for the same price. Don't even get me started on this Aztek. 4 tires? Doors?!?
Only real problem is that they are taller than the F-type. Just look at these photos though.

Oh the Aztek... the F-Type clearly needs a tent accessory!
