1000 Tesla Roadsters Have Been Built

Apparently after reading my post last week about the Tesla Roadster, a bunch of you went out and bought one. This week, I came across an article on autobloggreen saying that 1,000 Tesla Roadsters have been built. Last year it was only 150. I may not be the sole cause of 850 more being sold, but I'm going to take credit for some of them.

In that same article, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that they have negotiated a lease for the Model S plant, although he wouldn’t say where it was. Production of the Model S is still at least 2 years out. Musk also said the 1000th roadster will be auctioned off for charity.   

   

It’s Baaaaack… The El Camino Makes a Return

PickupTrucks.com reports that the Holden VE Ute may come to the U.S., and if it does, it could come as the Chevrolet El Camino. This news comes just one year after being killed last year. This plan is far from settled right now, but looks likes this time, it may actually go through. 

Tell us, are you a fan of the Chevy El Camino? Or, would you rather people make up their minds and choose only 1—either a truck or a car, you can’t have them both! 

   

High-Performance Electric Vehicles

Want to help the environment, but don't want to drive a lame electric car that doesn't go faster than 55 mph? Or, are you just worried that your neighbor will see your go-green car and start calling you a tree hugger? Get the looks of a hot sports car, and save the environment at the same time with a Tesla Roadster. Its 2x more efficient than a Prius, and 100x better looking! Your Roadster can take you from 0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds. It's 100% electric, and has 288 hp. BUT (and notice that's a big but), a Tesla Roadster starts at $108,000. So, while you may be looking good and saving trees, you definitely won't be saving pennies. For less expenisive (but still hot) options, check out the Tesla Model S, starting at $49,900.

   

Half Porsche, Half UFO... What Do You Think?

shiny_porsche

Is this proof of life on another planet? Seriously, how shiny does this Porsche need to be? I'm not saying it doesn't look good, but good luck trying to blend in with the traffic when you're going 100 on the freeway and look like you're wrapped in tin foil. Perhaps just some simple, yet classy chrome accessories would've been sufficient. What do you think?
