You can't resist it. It's electric! Boogie woogie, woogie..

Within the last five years a new company has emerged from the woodworks. This company is called Tesla Motors. Tesla Motors was founded in 2003 by a group of intrepid Silicon Valley engineers who set out to prove that electric vehicles could be awesome. Tesla first emerged in 2008 with their new electric car called the The Tesla Roadster. The Telsa Roadster hit the streets in early 2008 as a car with no equal. Two years later, over 1,000 Roadsters drive emissions-free in more than 25 countries.  Forget everything you know about the automobile. The Tesla electric drivetrain offers a radically different experience. The driver, the car, and the environment connect in ways they've never connected before. 
Tesla makes the best electric cars and electric power trains in the world. Tesla technology offers the most efficient path to a sustainable energy future. No hybrids. No hydrogen. No hype. Tesla's battery packs and power trains will help lessen global dependence on petroleum-based transportation and drive down the cost of electric vehicles.. By cooperating with other car manufacturers, we hope to put more electric cars on the road. Every Tesla and EV using Tesla Technology is a step towards making increasingly affordable electric cars available to the consumer. Tesla's mission is to increase the number and variety of electric cars available to mainstream consumers. “We're catalyzing change in the industry” - Tesla. Tesla vehicles and EVs powered by Tesla are fun to drive and environmentally responsible. They are causing other companies to invest in electric cars and to make their current models more environmentally friendly to appeal to the customers. They are what every company would like to see environmentally friends yet successful and great looking cars!

  1. I think the Tesla cars will struggle in the market. Although it is an extremely attractive car, with many interesting features and new abilities, in the end I feel that the over $300k price will be too high to attract enough customers. Tesla's competition consists of Porshes, Ferraris, BMWs, and Mercedezs. Ultimately, it i a man's car, and as a generalization, I feel that men have yet to fully engage themselves in the whole "green" movement, so they will not feel the need or attraction towards buying the new Tesla.
