Over two dozen Tesla Roadster owners hit the streets of L.A. on Saturday to recognize the San Carlos, California, based electric car company's 500th delivery.

It's a 592-horsepower rear-wheel drive, gasoline/electric hybrid coupe and its curves should make Beyoncé jealous. The twin-turbo 3.7-liter V6 with direct injection provides 434-horsepower. A disk shaped electric motor between the gas engine and the transmission adds another 158-horsepower. The electric motor gets power from a compact lithium-ion battery pack in the trunk area. The two power plants can work...
