So, I would love to hear a car geeks thoughts on Tesla Motors…
They look to be a start up that is based out of California with the intention of popularizing electric cars. I heard a piece on NPR about them. The jist seems that they have decided to go after the rich, early adopter market to try and bring the cost down for average folks. So, sensibly their first model is a sporty roadster. According to the story, the first 100 will cost about $100k for a signature edition and then the production model will decrease to $80-85k.
All in all, I think the car looks gorgeous and the idea seems somewhat sound. I bet there are lots of the upper class who would buy a car that is reported to be rather fast with cheap “fuel” costs and a large driving range…
So, when can I get a small SUV like my Honda CR-V for under $25k ?
