Tesla Roadster at Revolve 2008?

recharging the Tesla Roadster
Many of our supporters have asked about the much anticipated Tesla Roadster. Developed with the help of Lotus Engineering, it will easily out-accelerate the BMW Hydrogen 7 and Saab Biopower taking part. But driven more sensibly, the Roadster could do the Brighton to London rally 4 times over (320km+ per charge). It is the 'web 2.0' of the electric car world and seemingly everyone wants one. Given the hype, we thought we'd post their response to our invitation to take part in the Revolve 05.06.07 event.

"While [we] do appreciate the invite, we will have to respectfully decline. Right now we are heads-down trying to get our vehicle to production, and all of our resources are focused on that effort. We would certainly entertain this event as a possibility in next year’s schedule. Best regards and thank you for your consideration.
-Tesla Motors"


Here's to next year!

Most Dangerous Roads In The World?

Have you ever got home after a regular commute and realised that you don't really remember the journey? I do it all the time and I ride a bike through central London. Statistically, the most dangerous roads are whichever ones happen to be within a 5 mile radius of your house, i.e. the most familiar ones. These roads on the other hand are probably safe in the same way as fitting a dagger to your steering wheel and pointed at your heart is probably be a safer option than seatbelts, airbags and bike-helmets...
