Tesla Motors Opens Retail Store

Tesla Motors has opened their first retail store front to allow the masses access to their new cars. Of course, this is assuming you can afford the $109,000 price tag. "The company told the Associated Press that it is impressed with demand: it has taken 600 orders for the Roadster and has a waiting list of another 400. CEO Elon Musk owns the first one produced. The fancy showroom near Beverly Hills takes its inspiration from Apple stores, Musk said. [...] The company plans to make a luxury sedan next year called the Whitestar that will come in two versions: an all-electric model that will run entirely on its lithium ion battery pack, and a range-extended vehicle that will also use liquid fuel to extend its range. The Roadster will have a range of 220 miles per charge and the mileage equivalent of 135 miles per gallon."

Only $109? That's amazing. But why is slashdot suddenly using the European decimal punctuation?

Just goes to show that contrary to popular belief that mods just just sheepishly give you whatever moderation you suggest at the end of your post, funny.

Rods per hogshead

Before anyone asks, 135 miles per gallon is 2 721 600 rods per hogshead.

And that's the way I likes it!

Hawt!
