If you’re wondering why we “can’t” buy electric cars (especially since 80% of Americans drive 50 miles or less per day [1]), check out this review [2] of an electric sports car. The title deserves a special award of some sort: “Lick My Silent Sports Car; How much has Big Auto lied? Take a drive in this four-wheel electric orgasm, and find out.”
Here’s an excerpt from the review of the new Tesla Roadster:
This car, it has a top speed of 130 mph. It has a range of 250 miles. It also has GPS navigation and air-conditioning and air bags and it surely will come with a very badass sound system. It has heated seats and (I presume) iPod integration and Bluetooth. You know, just like a real car.
Oh, and by the way, this car? It’s completely silent. It is 100-percent emissions-free. Doesn’t even have a tailpipe. Because it has no internal combustion engine of any kind.
Here’s the website [3] for this car. According an article in Wired, Tesla’s $50,000 sedan is due out in 2008 [4]. Maybe you’re thinking “But this might be all hype. What would it really be like to drive an electric car?” For one account, click here [5].
And for a tale of intrigue about the lack of electric cars for sale, check out the trailer for the movie “Who Killed the Electric Car [6].”
