This is not my car. But it makes me hot. The incredibly sexy Tesla Roadster above is parked in a field in San Jose which is the future home of the Tesla factory! Tesla announced it this week, and they plan to build a sedan and sell it for $60,000. General Motors also said they're going to start selling their Volt EV in 2010 for $30,000. Some guy in Santa Cruz is selling his RAV4-EV for $45,000. As Huggz would say, "WTF, mate?"
I'm now up to 150 oil and gas free miles in two weeks! At this rate the car will completely pay for itself in less than two years. But remember - it's NOT about the money. It's about the clean air, quiet ride, stopping the greenhouse effect, sustainable energy, energy independence and global peace. But if it's all about the money to you, then...
- The bumper sticker above is available for sale on www.cafepress.com. There are more subtle ones butt what the hey.
- Got a wiper blade and gas cap at Volks cafe on Soquel Drive. Those guys are awesome.
- Got a side view mirror on Ebay.
- Joined a bunch of Yahoo! groups on EV's, we'll see which ones are useful. Need to find out more about the Zivan NG1 charger's blinking yellow (or is it green?!) light. Also trolled the evalbums for other Rabbit EV conversion owners who might help me out.
- Couldn't show it off, as requested, at the Green Seminar at the Boardwalk on Friday cause I had to work.
- Investigating the Paktrakr to better monitor the batteries.
- Almost got run over on Hiway 1 when a huge Escalade tried to merge behind me and there was no juice to accelerate at 55mph to pull ahead of him. Dude!
- This is really wild. Scared off a skunk and then a raccoon raiding the garbage can late at night when I went out to check the charger.
- The new DMV title arrived! I'm so proud.
- Took a BUNCH of pics of the VoltsRabbit and at the Annual EV Rally, but need to upload them on picassa... stay tuned.
- Attending the eaaev.org monthly meeting tomorrow...
