It has been too long since my last post. I have no good excuse other than having a crazy few weeks. On my way to work today, I get a little incentive when I had the pleasure of driving behind a Tesla Roadster with the liscense plate ELECTRIX. I was surprised by two things. First, how small and sporty it looks and second, the acceleration it had. The lucky guy doing the driving was in his 60s and was by no means a spead deamon when driving, but we stoppped next to eachother at a stop light and when it turned green, he blew me away. You hear that this car can do 0-60 in 3.7 seconds, but you don’t realize how fast that really is until you are sitting next to one as it takes off. Now I see why everyone wants to drive one. The best part about this car, is that not only is it one of the sportiest cars to drive, it is also one of the greenest . This just shows that going greener does not always have to mean sacrificing quality or comfort. I don’t know about you, but I can’t afford the $110 price tag, but if I did have an extra hundred grand to throw around, I would seriously consider it. Maybe the $32K Nissan Leaf or the newly announced $41K Chevy Volt will be a little closer to my price range. Too bad it doesn’t look as fun to drive as the Roadster.
