Tesla takes this trend for a spin
I recently had to write a magazine article for a project of mine, focusing on the theme of my blog. Happy to find another area to vent my frustrations over the fickleness of green, the research involved also brought me up to date with newer, greener innovations.
The car manufacturing industry for instance, is reluctantly putting its V-8 engines to one side to concentrate on models that don’t depend on fuel. Tesla Motors have done it. The Roadster is 100 percent electric. You plug it in and a single charge apparently gets you 244 miles up the freeway, a feat that hasn’t been paralleled by any other car currently in production.
I imagine however, that sports car enthusiasts might turn up their noses at a car that you manage the same way you would a golf-cart. But according to its manufacturers, its specifications just whisper, “drive me.” And they wouldn’t be kidding. The lack of a growling V-8 would make it a very quiet car indeed.
Ah well. At least its battery pack is recyclable!
