Tesla
Motors Electric Car
Other notable customers besides George Clooney to order one
of the "Signature One Hundred" electric cars were
Jeff Skoll of eBay and Dennis Haysbert of the "24"
television series.
Tesla Motors is trying to prove that environmentally friendly
cars don't have to be ugly or slow. The electric powered sports
car is run by rechargeable batteries, powering an electric motor.
It only needs to be charged about once every 250 miles and can
reach a speed of 60 miles per hour in just 4 seconds.
The electric Tesla Roadster "Signature One Hundred"
has a commemorative plaque placed in the cockpit, personalized
for each customer, and signed by Tesla notables.
Cofounder Martin Eberhard stated that "Getting a Signature
One Hundred Tesla Roadster provides entry into a very
exclusive group. These early customers are pioneers, helping
lay a foundation that will make electric cars possible for everyone..
enabling Tesla Motors to develop future models at price points
that eventually work for every budget."
