Tesla Model S Driven at Winding Road: A Car Company Making Electric Vehicles (EV) with Headquarters in Silicon Valley




image linked from TeslaMotors

At Winding Road | Driven: 2012 Tesla Model S we first read -- and are fascinated since -- by the fact that Tesla is headquartered in Silicon Valley.

We have visions of all the tech company execs setting a good example for the motorists of the future and driving this car "down the road", as it were.

We are, by the way, prepared and willing to do "prolonged" testing of this electric vehicle (EV) here in Europe -- the company can contact us at any time ;-)

Wow, build your own Bugatti Veyron!

We are going to do this when we get the spare time
and have enough paper glue.

2.5 feet long (76 cm), this is a papercraft replica, 159 parts, printed on 44 pages. Amazing what one can do with paper.
