Electric Car Goodness

Oh my giddy biscuits, I want one. And not just for the name, though "Tesla Roadster" makes the weird-science queen inside me curl up and giggle with zero-point delight. Look at it, it's yummy. And quick. It's as sexy as the Smart Roadster or a ruggedised Elise and it's got a halo because I get my power from windmills (uswitch.com, green tariffs, you've no excuse not to). This is cooler than chipfat. It's just as green, but this gets laid.

Blimy! I want one of them.

The only downside I can see is that 250 mile range. Fine in most circumstances but not good if you have to do a long journey. I guess such journeys are infrequent enough that it would encourage you to use the train instead.

It just means you do a slightly different style of driving. It's not a grand tourer, that's all. I certainly don't drive over 250 in one go very often - not in a few years, in fact.
