What I am saying is that Tesla took another vehicle just like Saleen did with the Tesla

No they didn't. Saleen took a fully functioning Model S and tokk out Tesla's branding and put Saleen branding on it. This is not the same thing as buying a chassis from Lotus and building everything else (drivetrain, battery, electronics, safety features, etc.).

But it is ok for Tesla to do so and also double the price of the vehicle? Then again, it was a glider and not even the complete vehicle so it was probable more then double the cost of the actual base "glider" unit from Lotus.

Here, you said it yourself. The Elise was just a glider. Of course the Roadster was going to be more expensive than a glider! I mean come on.

Doesn't AC Propulsion also have something to do with BMW???

Ac made the powertrain for the Mini years ago and it was a flop. Apparently they have no involvement with the i3 and i8.

And how does Saleen produce the Saleen 351 currently? They keep the current GT motor??? Based on what your saying they do...

I don't care what they are doing with the mustang. You were comparing the Roadster to the 416.
