Test Driving the Tesla Roadster
stacybro writes "Wired has an article about the Tesla Roadster. It is similar to other electric cars that we have seen in that the electric engine's serious torque will allow it to do 0-60mph in about 3 seconds. Part of what is different about this is that they are using over 6,831 laptop-type lithium-ion batteries. They are claiming the range is about 250 miles. As the battery tech for laptops improves, so will the range of these cars. The car will run about $80,000, which is about par for an exotic two-seater. So who is doing the poll on which tech CEO will be seen driving one first? My guess is one of the Google or E-Bay guys, since they are investors. It is nice to see more companies serious about helping to getting rid of our oil dependency. It is odd that the big car companies aren't more on this track!"
Foreign Evil:
Saddam Hussein, who, over the space of 20 years killed nearly 60,000 Iraqis.
Domestic Evil:
Donald Rumsfeld, who, over the space of 36 months killed over 100,000 Iraqis.
(and the rest got purple fingers, an entrenched Theocracy, and civil war).
hmmmm. . . decisions decisions.
These are my friends, See how they glisten. See this one shine, how he smiles in the light.
