ShareYesterday, Tesla Motors started taking orders for a two-seat car that
- goes from zero to 60 mph in 4 seconds
- goes 250 miles on a single charge
- runs entirely on electricity
- can be recharged in 3.5 hours
At the current national average retail price for electricity, that’s the equivalent of 150 miles per gallon.
The car is expensive, costing up to $100,000, but perhaps by aiming at the sports car enthusiast market they can create a viable business, and then move into other segments of the automobile industry.
