Tesla introduces it's next electric car

Tesla's newest electric car is a glimpse into the future of automobiles. I think this is something to be proud of. An American company, building an environmentally friendly car in the US.

One question: Where would you get $50,000 for a car? Ha ha ha ha ha.

That's a pretty sharp looking car Sparks. I guess the same people that would buy a Benz or the like would be interested in this car.

This fits right into the kind of changes our big 3 need to be making now.

0-60 in 5.6 seconds...that's fast!

Tesla is going to open up a showroom in Chicago soon so you will be able to see the car.

Uh, duh, it was at the auto show.

Really Lois? Guess what? Not everyone went to the auto show now did they?

Well then, I am sorry for you. Best place to go if you are a car nut.

There is a big difference in between a display at the auto show and a showroom where you can actually test drive and purchase a Tesla.

Well it doesn't look like you can do either too soon. Tesla Motors is asking the Federal Government for $100 million to build a factory. Production in the U.S. has been postponed. I guess PayPal, e-Bay, Hyatt, etc. can't scrape that kind of money together. Nice idea, but should have all their ducks in a row, before advertising.

Here's the baby I'm looking at.

Well, I did it. In case anyone's been wondering, (and I know many of you have been) I've been away for the past three (+) weeks. I bought my Corvette. Not a ZR1, but a 4LT Coupe. Same color as the photo, but without the black roof. Then took a trip on I-80 to Salt Lake City, to see some friends, and back.

Iz nice!
