Sure looks nicer than a Prius

0-60 mph in 4 seconds. And because it's electric-powered, it gets the equivalent of 135 mpg. I don't know if any of you have heard about Tesla Motors and their new sports car, but I see this as a good sign that some good old fashioned ingenuity and entrepenuership can solve the world's ills. The going rate is $100K for one of these babies. Imagine how cheap they'd be, though, if some big car maker like GM or Ford started mass producing these.

Hopefully, though, they're not using similiar lithium-ion batteries to those found in Dell laptops that caused incidents such as the picture below. Nothing ruins a road trip more than your car blowing up...
