Tesla Motors has introduced a car that is:
100% electric
0 to 60 in 4 secs.
135 MPG equivalent
250 miles per charge
about .01$ a mile

Amazing stuff the website is a plethora of info, interesting to see who the Investors are also.

All for about $90,000.


The Future?

Made by Lotus... read something on them last week... i would rather by a Boxter for $50k and forget about emissions

[Pinshark]

Has anyone seen the documentary...The death of the electric car?

This is not really new tecnhology. Gm made a car called the EV1 that had similar specs.

[hoolio]

Wired had good article on the Telsa. Well it was good reading while I was sitting on the can anyway. It's rather ironic that I'm reading about a zero emission vehicle while I'm producing enough flammable gas to take a 747 from New York to Tokyo and back... loaded with Sumo Wrestlers.

Is this the Tesla of the tesla coil in Command and Conquer Red Alert? Cuz I would love a car that fried the brains out of any driver who got too close and started tailgaiting me.

That was a sweet game back in the day. Tiberium Wars is coming to the 360 and I'm kind of excited.

And although I'd like to believe the designers were big C&C fans, I would imagine the name is probably linked more to Nikola Tesla, but the Tesla Coil was probably too, so you could call them cousins.

Haha...ya, it's definitely based on his inventions.....C&C even gets a mention in the "Nikola Tesla in Popular Culture" section

Tesla was one of history's great minds.
