Yes, he does mean the original Roadster. I know because I drove one too when they first came out, and was very disappointed with it.

Heavy and cumbersome, but to be fair I was comparing it to the "donor vehicle" - the Lotus Elise. Basically Tesla took a lightweight Elise and made it heavy, as well as throwing off the weight distribution.

Drive one back to back with the Elise, and the failure is evident. But to be fair, it was a version 1 effort from Tesla.
