Are you ready for this? (Once you get over the shock this is actually recommended by a chick.) This is the electric car that will change the image of electric cars and the perception that green living means giving up style and functionality. This thing is fast. It is unbelievable. And it's affordable (I suppose that's all relative). It's best you go to their site and check it out for yourself. Hit the buy button, and it should take you there, or www.teslamotors.com. The bad news? They are sold out.

dream car! tesla car is awesome

Me want!!!
Okay, so what if it's 100K?...
wonder if I could get it under the "Cash For Clunkers" program?

The one car that would make me give up my Boxster. Finally an aesthetically pleasing electric car with great performance! Note to auto manufacturers: you'ld sell even more hybrids or electrics if you'ld make these cars look more attractive. Tesla just announced a sedan coming out in 2010 for 60k. Let's hope they can meet those expectations.

Not only is this high-performance battery-powered car sizzzzling hot but it performs as good as it looks with its Lotus suspension and steering.

The all electric Tesla Roadster.

That's the good news. The bad news is that they're over 95k and all the '08 orders have been filled. But you can get in line for the '09 models :) (via Tesla Motors)

Nikola Tesla was a genius who, more than 100 years ago at the dawn of the electric age, invented alternating electrical current, the radio, and the AC motor, among other things, that are instrumental to our modern life.

This is exactly the kind of innovation the world needs - an efficient, gorgeous, crazy-fast (0-60 in 4 seconds!!!) electric car. Kudos to Tesla, who have seen success with their $98,000 superlight hypercar. R&D has never looked so sexy, and neither has protecting the environment!
