Summary[edit]

Description

The first production Tesla has arrived in America.

The employees just shared their enthusiasm at the arrival of their carbon fiber baby on the company blog. Serial Number 1 was purchased by Elon Musk, of course.

Elon and Validation Prototype 10 (seen here) are at the Cleantech Conference lunch. By a show of hands, no one else in the audience could match Elon’s track record of having co-founded five companies and having five children under the age of four.  ;-)

Motortrend (March 08) published the first test drive results, and they aptly describe what I felt driving this car:

“I'm almost grimacing as I release the brake and pound the accelerator to the floor. Whrrrrrrr... There's no wheelspin, axle tramp, shutter, jutter, smoke whiff, cowl shake, nothing. I'm being eerily teleported down the barrel of a rail gun, head pulled back by a hard, steady acceleration. Bizarre.”
