TecH: new ALL electric Car comes to market!

Shamelessly Stolen from my favorite Author's blog:


* Tesla Signature One Hundred Event -

After much anticipation and countless rumors, rivalling the unveiling of (Dean) Kamen's Seguay, PayPal founder and tech-visionary Elon Musk is finally ready to show off one of his keynote projects... the Tesla Roadster. Tesla Motors is a new American car company developing fully electric vehicles that are high performance, high production, and affordable. The Roadster will first be sold in a limited set of 100 to a select group at an evening event on July 19 in Santa Monica. An all-electric car, the Roadster delivers better acceleration and handling than a Porsche Turbo, meets all U.S. safety standards, operates at twice the energy efficiency of a Prius, and has a highway range of 250 miles.

Wow. I’ve long said that we desperately need help from the portion of the billionaire caste that “gets it”... in order to save us from the half that doesn’t.

End of Dr. Brin's accolades.


Oh and the website is here

Will be unveiled TOMORROW. 7/20/2006

Anxiously looking forward to this!
