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.

Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

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!

I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

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.
