Sure the writing was [on the wall](http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/23/tesla-roadster-being-discontinued/), but yes, fans of wildly impractical yet extremely fast EVs, your day of reckoning has come. The atomic red rocket-ship above -- photographed by our friends at *AutoBlog* -- is one of fifteen "Final Edition" roadsters, which brings the company's contract with Lotus for 2,600 sports cars to a close. Those seeking an Elon Musk blessed whip can get cozy with the upcoming [Model S](http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/06/tesla-model-s-test-ride-and-factory-tour-video/) or alternatively stick it out [until 2014](http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/30/telsa-roadster-to-return-in-2014-3-series-fighter-in-the-works/) -- you know when the Roadster's successor is supposed to land. Tough call, but who are we kidding -- you really couldn't go wrong with either.
