So now, he can park the Tesla in the garage and have it recharged by solar-generated power after only two or three hours. Even if the driver should exceed the 240-mile range (where most other hybrid electric cars have only a 40-50 mile range), the car comes with a backup battery to provide a few extra miles so it doesn’t completely leave the owner stranded.

We all know that Obama is a passionate supporter of alternative energy and other green initiatives, and he also believes in educating our youth about humanitarian and environmental efforts, so what better way for him to help spread the green word than to instill eco programs in shool?

Awesome! I am jealous.
So now that the weekend has passed, how was it?
I was blown away. I first rode as a passenger - and the acceleration off the line literally took my breath away. 0-60 in 4 seconds is REALLY FAST (I think it's about 0.7 G's!). The acceleration on the low end (under 20mph) is dialed down by the traction control system. But it just keeps on accelerating smoothly and aggressively all the way up to 60 (and with NO SHIFTING - it's a one-speed transmission).
It's a really fun car to drive. To quote Ferris Beuller, "It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up."
Very cool. A friend's brother works at the company and sent us notice that they were coming up here through this weekend. I'm hoping to get over and see them this weekend although I don't think I'll be on the list since I don't have my name on the waiting list. I am excited to see how these do in the market though. All reviews point to "awesome."
As far as I know, they were just here LAST weekend.
