La macchina da sogno? elettrica

ABSTRACT
The answer lies between the years of 1996 and 2003, and is the story of two innovators named Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. In 1996, Martin Eberhard, part environmentalist, part car aficionado, was in search of a sports car that got more than 25 miles to the gallon and left behind low emissions.
It turned out that building a high-performance electric car was “possible, but difficult,” the ideal situation for the kinds of big vision ideas favored by venture capital firms. Luckily for Tesla Motors, our idea hit at a time when the automotive industry was slowly diversifying and globalizing. This marks the date that Tesla Motors was officially born, a result of a swing-for-the-fences vision, tireless research, a truly eyebrow-raising business plan, and the support of some very forward-thinking venture capitalists.

Le macchine da sogno che non vanno a "petrolio" cominciano a diventare realtà. Due appassionati inventori sulle orme di Nikola Tesla (700 brevetti) hanno creato questo bolide 185 KW, accelerazione da 0 a 60 in 4 secondi velocità oltre 200 km/h, un pieno di circa 400 km con 3,5 ore di autonomia.
Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning potrebbero diventare i nuovi Steve Jobs e Bill Gates delle "car no gasoline" o macchine ad energie rinnovabili. Speriamo che sia l'inizio di una nuova era e, che lascino le zone fra il Tigri e l'Eufrate come culla della storia non luoghi di guerre per il petro-terrore.
