I love an electric car called Tesla. This was an honor not to just to attend the
event for the Tesla Roadster but to then write such a fun article on [Planet Green](https://greenlivingguy.com/2010/07/five-questions-to-ask-when-you-build-your-own-electric-vehicle-on-planet-green/).

## Electric Car Tesla show

What can we say when Buying Green and Electric Cars? Tesla Motors
 There are cars
and then there are Tesla [Motors](http://Tesla.com) Electric Cars. I drove their
electric cars last week and I can tell you there is truly nothing like Tesla’s great
eco-innovation today. ⌊Electric car Tesla. Roadster Sport⌉

### Tesla Model S

This Model S has the class of a vehicle like no other. Great interior, great seating
and well; the movie clip (below) says it all. The Tesla Model S electric car that
IS on the market has an amazing AC drive of a new design with a new controller, 
new motor, and new battery sub-system.[](https://i0.wp.com/s3.media.squarespace.com/production/433270/4867125/_Ux_kilcnp3c/SnmrWmciFRI/AAAAAAAAALc/VbRCHSzcTN8/s320/Tesla_IAC25.jpg?quality=52)

 In addition, Tesla Motors turned profitable for the first time in July 2009, when
the electric car manufacturer shipped a record 109 vehicles. A surge in sales and
reduced manufacturing costs of Tesla’s Roadster 2 sports car helped boost the company
to $1 million in earnings and $20 million in revenue. Furthermore, the Roadster 
has a range of about 244 miles per charge. That’s the first production electric 
vehicle to cross the 200-mile mark. All according to the press release. Moreover,
the Roadster is the only highway-capable electric vehicle for sale in North America
or Europe. So the company says it is faster than a Porsche. I mean and twice as 
energy-efficient as a Toyota Prius.

#### Tesla Event

When I attended the Tesla event way back after Elon Musk was on the David Letterman
Show. So when I saw Chris Paine and I it was cool. For Chris Paine is the Director
of the movie, Who Killed The Electric Car.
 Also, the movie investigates the events
leading to the quiet destruction of thousands of new, radically efficient electric
vehicles. Through interviews and narrative, the film paints a picture of an industrial
culture whose aversion to change and reliance on oil may be deeper than its ability
to embrace ready solutions.”

#### Revenge of the Electric Car

Who Killed the Electric Car? and Chris Paine were nominated by the Writer’s Guild
for Best Documentary of 2006. Plus, the film also received nominations. That’s from
The Broadcast Critics Awards and The Environmental Media Awards for Best Documentary
of 2006. In addition, the film won the audience award at the Canberra International
Film Festival and won a special jury prize at the Mountain Film Festival.
 He is
working on a new movie called Revenge of The Electric Car. While we couldn’t hook
up for an interview in his new movie; I Know it would have been cool but whatever,
it was still a pleasure to meet and talk with Chris. Source: Electrifying Times
