How To Get Your Hands on a Tesla in GTA 5
As an eco-friendly gamer and racing enthusiast in GTA Online, I‘ve found the Voltic electric supercar to be an absolute blast to drive with its instant torque acceleration and crisp handling around corners. If you didn‘t know already, the Voltic takes clear inspiration from Tesla‘s lineup of electric vehicles, making it the closest thing you can get to driving a Tesla Model S, 3 or Cybertruck in GTA 5.
Buying the Voltic Supercar
The most straightforward approach is to purchase the Voltic directly from legendarymotorsport.net for a reasonable $150,000. Compared to real-life Teslas that cost $80,000+, getting your hands on an electric speed demon has never been more affordable!
Make sure you‘ve got a well equipped Vehicle Warehouse garage to store this shockingly quick ride. While it seats 2 people, I don‘t recommend bringing a friend along that might slow you down.
Finding and Stealing Spawned Voltics
If your bank account balance is looking slim, all hope isn‘t lost! Voltics can occasionally spawn in parking lots and driveways around Richman Glen in West Los Santos.
Equip some stealth attire at a clothing store and creep around at night to carjack unsuspecting electric car owners. Just be ready to make a speedy escape from the cops!
Here are the best spawn locations I‘ve discovered over hundreds of hours searching:
- Marlowe Drive west of Rockford Plaza
- South Mo Milton Drive near Burton
- Movie star Row in Vinewood Hills
With some patience, you can add this vibrant coupe to your collection without dropping any cash.
Winning the Podium Vehicle at the Casino
The Diamond Casino‘s Lucky Wheel offers a rotating selection of free cars as the coveted podium vehicle prize. About once a month, the Voltic is featured for extremely lucky winners to drive home in zero emissions luxury.
I‘d recommend watching some YoutTube tutorials on timing your spin perfectly. With some practice, any player can reliably walk away with brand new wheels. Hey, maybe you‘ll even win one painted in an exclusive gold!
Upgrading to the Rocket Voltic at Benny‘s
If you bring your standard Voltic over to Benny‘s Original Motor Works, you can convert it into the "Rocket Voltic" tuner edition complete with jet boosters for around $3 million.
This transforms the car into a modern take on a Tesla Roadster equipped with actual rocket boost capabilities. Activating the boost at the perfect moment during races provides an unbeatable edge over gas guzzling supers cars.
Just make sure you give your battery enough time to recharge between high-speed blasts down the freeway!
The Voltic‘s Performance and Stats
Underneath the Voltic‘s stylish curves lies some seriously impressive performance capabilities:
- 891 horsepower electric motor
- AWD drivetrain for maximized traction
- 0-60 mph in 1.9 seconds thanks to instant torque
- Top speed of 155 mph when rocket boost is active
- Lap time of 1:03.221 around the Cutting Coroners GP circuit
With specs like these, the Voltic can outpace the fastest supercars from the likes of Pegassi, Overflod and Grotti. Electric power clearly reigns supreme in the world of GTA street racing!
How the Voltic Compares to Real-Life Tesla Vehicles
The Voltic takes obvious design influences from Tesla‘s Model S luxury sedan with its smooth curves and vibrant LED accents. Besides looking the part, how does GTA‘s electric speed machine stack up against actual Teslas in terms of performance?
| Specs | Voltic (GTA) | Tesla Model S |
|---|---|---|
| Top Speed | 155 mph | 163 mph |
| 0-60 mph | 1.9 secs | 2.3 secs |
| Cost | $150k | $94k+ |
As you can see, the Voltic aligns extremely closely withcutting edge Tesla modelsin key areas. It proves electric vehicles can compete withand surpass high-endgas powered supercars.The only category whereGTA takes creative license is theprice – you won‘t find such blisteringacceleration this cheapin the real world!
Overall, I‘d say Elon would be proud of what Rockstar has accomplishedwith their vision of an electricvehicle. It certainly captures the essence of Tesla‘smission to create eco-friendly yet exhilarating performance.
Mastering the Voltic: Tips and Tricks
Through extensive testing and tinkering in LS Customs, I‘ve discovered some crucial tips for any Voltic owner to maximize their driving experience:
Charging
- The Voltic recharges its battery pack automatically from any electrical source. Park it near lamp posts, transformers or beneath power lines!
- Add neon lights to see your charge status. Green means full battery, purple is halfway, red indicates almost empty.
- Upgrade to a high-output battery to double your electric range before needing to recharge.
Handling
- Lower your ride height to reduce body roll around corners. Too low will damage the chassis though.
- Tuner wheels, a rear spoiler and chassis bracing transform handling from mild to wild!
- Softer suspension settings help maintain traction off the line when rocket boost kicks in.
Customization
- Paint your Voltic in eye-catching metallic colors with hot rod flames to stand out.
- Add custom license plates and vanity décor to show off your eco-conscious spirit!
- Wide rear fenders, lowered side skirts and a tinted glass roof give an aggressive, track-inspired vibe.
Using the Voltic Effectively in Missions
While free mode joyriding in the Voltic is a blast, you can also leverage its torque-rich acceleration and silent electric motors during missions for some extra excitement:
- For high speed depot infiltrations, time your boosts correctly to burst through checkpoints rapidly
- Take advantage of instant power delivery for quick getaways when stealth suddenly fails
- Utilize all-wheel drive traction to cut through winding dirt trailspolice can‘t follow you on
Just make sure you‘ve recharged the batteries beforehand! Nothing worse than losing momentum mid-job and realizing all nearby poles are out of power.
In Conclusion…
I hope all this deep insight has convinced you to embraceelectric power in GTA Onlineand finally add a Voltic to your driveway! Once you experience its neck-snapping acceleration firsthand, you‘ll never want to ride gas-powered sports cars ever again.
The future is electric. Go greenand have a blast saving the environmentin true Vigilante fashion with thiswheel-screeching speed demoninspired by the real-world innovations at Tesla.
See you on the streets of Los Santos, gearheads!
