Nice! Somebody actually realised the Electric Cars don't sell because they all seem to have been modeled on the Milk-Float :)

Looks good. I hope enough rich kids will buy it so that we peasants can get our own pinko-commie Lotus Elise clones eventually. ;)

BTW: Wired had a good article on this the other day too (http://www.wired.com/news/wiredmag/0,71414-0.html?tw=rss.index)

Edit: I guess that was linked on the teslamotors page anyway. Oh well.

Nice! That's one beautiful car, and even better if it actually delivers on its environmental claims. Tesla's 150th birthday was a few weeks ago, and they renamed Belgrade Airport to Nikola Tesla Airport, and now this. Yay!

Oh boy oh boy oh boy....! I can see it now! It'll be the next 007 car... and you get one guess as to what it's primary armament will be. :D

Nice. :D

I have a feeling that Tesla Motors is gonna do well.
Now, all I gotta do is pry my dad's lips of our gas-chugging Jeep.
