It's a pity, but there's that "founder" term being applied to Elon again. :frown: Martin will keep that title for us faithful followers of Tesla Motors.

And they said "6381 Lithium Ion Batteries".

They should have said "6831"...

►► GoogleBattle: The latest indicator of cultural relevance. Tesla 6831 VS. Tesla 6381!

(Actually it is lame that about a third of the google hits are on sites that dislexified that figure and published it)

Nice to say:

To our surprise, the Tesla’s range turned out to be a nonissue. It has plenty of reach, either as a daily commuter or for morning coffee runs with the Lotus club.

It makes boys out of men

Once you experience direct drive, you’ll never want to go back.

Cheap shots:

...Elon Musk, 37, founded Tesla Motors.

Just take out the "o"!

The women most interested in the car are usually wearing muumuus.

According to the public Tesla owners list:
Jenna Elfman

Jenny Mccarthy

Linda Nicholes

on left with Chelsea who is also "interested"

They also said:

"The first drivable prototype created in mid-2007 was almost as big as the Beatles in the media."

When I think we all know that there were drivable prototypes around at least a year before that...
