Green and Mean ?!
July 21, 2006
Tesla Motors has gotten a lot of press lately from Wired.com, CNET, Red Herring and others. They have built the first all electric performance roadster. 0-60mph in about 4 seconds, 250 miles per charge a top speed of over 130 mph and a battery that lasts 100 000 miles. No emissions. 135 mpg equivalent. All this on a three -hour charge. For only 80k. Not bad. The development story at Wired.com is fascinating. I will be passing the hat shortly, although they say that a sedan is in the works.
