We all know that Matt Damon likes his car chase scenes fast and furious. (Bourne Ultimatum scene | Damon talking about those stunts) So it was no surprise that Damon was one of the first in line to buy a Tesla Roadster — the soon-to-be-released electric car that also happens to be one of the fastest-accelerating street-legal vehicles on the planet.

“Next year I’m getting a Tesla Roadster,” he told press last year, “Which I’m very, very excited about. It’s an electric car, gets about 250 miles to the charge and is fast as hell!”

Damon got to test drive one on Sunday. A blogger from Autofiends.com happened to be on hand when Damon pulled up to a Coffee Bean in Studio City (North Los Angeles), CA in a light blue Tesla prototype. Cool part: Damon was stoked to chat about his new joy ride. (click for story and more pix)
