Selected Tesla Links

Common questions about electric vehicles:

1. How long does it take to charge? Six seconds. Three seconds to plug it in when I get home, and three seconds to unplug it in the morning!

2. How far can it go? Further than my bladder can go! Seriously, what is the rated range of your bladder? A Tesla Model S can go 370 miles on a single charge, and at 65 mph that is over 5 1/2 hours of driving!
