Here's an electric car fo you gentlemen. 0-60 in 4 seconds. 250 mile on a charge-up. Nuthin' dorky about this one from Tesla Motors.

They have a very "apple-esque" web site look. Interesting that they don't come out and tell you the price. One bit of irony. Last year in my town there was a huge uproar among the environmentally focused regarding the harmful effects of EMF's resulting from a proposed high voltage power line route. These people dismissed any study that did not find a harmful effect from EMF's. The Tesla (good name) web site assures us that EMF's aren't harmful. Guess they won't sell any cars in my town. But wait! Those people are their market! Oh, what to do?

EMF is controversial. All of the studies say it's harmless. And it would seem to be, given the distances to the power line. But I still wouldn't want to live close to one. I wouldn't spend too much time with a cell phone jammed up to my head either, in spite of the studies.

I saw a price of $30k for one of these babies. Not too bad, when you figure the batteries are supposed to be good for 100k miles.

Maybe all that high powered magnetism will clear out all of the Alheimer's plaques forming in my brain.
