Fantastic. Rednecks are easy targets on April Fool's Day. http://www.edmunds.com/car-news/tesla-to-race-in-nascar-sprint-cup-series.html
YEHAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW..... A Goshdarn eelektrek NASCAR TEEEESLA. HOTDAM! A truely international effort....notice where the batteries will be made Glad to see someone has a sense of humor.
I call BS on this one! <enter lengthy diatribe about how it isn't possible, it isn't targeted right, it would be out of the target market...> </sarcasm> I do have to say I like the sponsorship ideas. Energizer, Duracell, Rayovac, Panasonic, etc., would all be fighting for that sponsorship opportunity. And it's fun to imagine what bolting a transmission onto the Tesla motor might create in terms of torque and speed, and what 12-second battery replacement would look like. ...For the record, I'm a NASCAR fan. I *am* going to the race next weekend in Martinsville, VA, and I'm looking forward to the announcement.
"We aren't sure how many fans would be friendly toward alternative energy at an event sponsored by the NRA," Wow, pretty good work by edmunds
Model S To Race in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Wow, what an awesome idea! Sounds like Tesla's really going to do it! http://www.edmunds.com/car-news/tesla-to-race-in-nascar-sprint-cup-series.html#
Where does it mention about the Model S?? It's Tesla that are going to be entering, not the Model S. I assume they are making some other car for it. Or is it just April's fool? I can't tell. So confused right now.
