Stand corrected. The Tesla is based on the Elise platform but the facelift is Evora. Tesla also hired & commissioned the Lotus design dept. to create the Roadster. Some say that the Lotus Evora design was a continuing in-house design project from the Lotus M250 concept...and the Roadster collaboration.

Read their design collaboration:
