The Tesla Model S - an Electric Car for 50K


Meet the Tesla Model S, an Electric Car for a mere 50K. It can go 300 miles on one charge and can charge within 45 minutes. Tesla Motors was founded by Elon Musk, a co-founder of PayPal. There is a 17 inch flat panel on the dashboard for the controls and comes with 3G (net access). You can surf the net or check email while you drive (sounds a bit dangerous to me). Now California may need to add another law in addition to no texting while driving and no talking on the cell phone while driving.

The scratch-proof car


The scratch-proof car. Scientists claim to have created a "self-healing" coating that repairs itself in 30 minutes. Can that be true? I have never tried it myself, but this is something I would love to try out on my car. My car has scratches all over from years of driving around LA. This coating is developed by a scientist at the University of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg. This thing is still in the developmental stage and supposedly will be available to the public in around 5 years. I can't wait.
