Electric roadster

I'm no environmentalist hippie, but this car is pretty cool. It has the potential to change the way automakers think about cars that use less (or no) gas.

Upon reflection, it's not surprising that a car like this would come from a small start-up as opposed to a large company. Think of the beauracracy a GM or Toyota would throw up in the way of the development of a car like this. This line especially stuck out to me as how quickly these guys could a move to make improvements:

At the time of the ride I took in Southern California, the car had a Blaupunkt radio with an extra screen hanging below for the navigation system. Customers weren't fond of that look so it has been replaced with a JVC unit with an integrated (although considerably smaller) screen. The Tesla interior crew is currently working on a revised dashboard that will support a double-din head unit with a larger screen.
