Tesla Anyone?

Have you heard of the new Tesla sports car? Check out those sleek lines, kickin' curves and... oh I don't know, whatever it is that makes a sports car apealing (red paint?). So, do you notice anything really different about this car? Like most sports cars it goes from 0 to 60 in under 4 seconde, unlike any other sports car it gets the equivilent of 250 miles per gallon. "How?" you might ask, well, it doens't actually run on gassoline, it's an electric car.



Tesla Motors Inc., backed by eBay, Google and Paypal big-wigs is setting up shop and producing these amazing cars. Just checking out the info page gets some pretty cool info. The car will have built in iPod dock, no service necessary (until 100,000 miles), and the car has no reverse (the engine runs backwards to move the car backwards) - that means the car will be able to go 130 miles an hour... backwards (well, maybe not, but it should be able to)!

You can check out more on the Tesla Roadster at their web site [here] or read more on Wired.com and other sites.
