Tesla

Heard of Tesla Motors? They are the first and only serial manufacturer of electric vehicles (EVs) in the world. The Tesla Roadster, pictured above, is also the only production EV that gets better than 200 miles per charge. This week, it was announced that Tesla broke the world record - over 300 miles on a single charge. The Roadster is clearly a high performance sports car. It can accelerate from 0-60 in under 4 seconds, yet is twice as energy efficient as a Prius.

I took this picture this morning. Tesla just opened a showroom in Boulder a short walk from my house. It makes perfect sense. It's the greenest car on the planet, and with a price tag of $100k Tesla's clientele is going to be both green minded and affluent. What better place than Boulder? The one big question I have is that the car is extremely flashy (kinda looks like a Ferrari) and Boulder is definitely not about being flashy. I wonder how it'll be received.
