Tesla Motors is introducing a new, all-electric roadster. They claim a 250 mile-per-charge range, 0-60 in about 4 seconds, a top speed over 130 MPH and a recharge time of about 3.5 hours.
Is Tesla Motors a subsidiary of GM, Ford, Toyota or Honda? Oh, no. It's the brain child of Martin Eberhard (who, not surprisingly has a blog), a Silicon Valley electronics engineering entrepreneur and start-up veteran. He figured that Detroit didn't know jack about how to efficiently harness a battery. File this under "If you want something done right..." You know the rest.
Here's a search at AutoBlog.com for Telsa-related articles.
Wired.com has written an article.
If I had $80K floating around that I didn't need, I'd be all over this little baby.... except... it looks a bit cramped for the 6-foot-plus crowd...
Fwiw, a sedan is in the works for release in 2008. (yawn)
There are photo layouts at both Tesla Motors and at Wired. Check this out. Very cool.
