Matt Damon is getting a Tesla
Filed under: EV/Plug-in, Green Culture, Tesla Motors
"I drive a Toyota Prius and I have one of the Lexus hybrids," says Matt. "Next year I'm getting a Tesla Roadster, which I'm very, very excited about. It's an electric car, gets about 250 miles to the charge and is fast as hell! I can't wait to get it. Driving a green car is one of the ways we can all do a little more, so I'm trying to do that."
Matt's new movie, Bourne Ultimatum, opens this weekend and it looks like it will be number one at the box office. It may be the best opening of Matt's career. The first Bourne movie has an amazing car chase in a mini. It's probably one of the best car chases in the history of movies. Ultimatum has a commercial tie in with VW Touareg 2. Check out the video.

Darryl, wasn't the 250 mile spec changed? ;)
Not that I wouldn't like a Tesla...

Yeah, the official miles is "200+" right now... I imagine the final number will be between 210 and 235.
One thing that Tesla has never stated is whether that's city or highway miles... electric drive vehicles always do better in the city than the high aero-drag environment of the highway, so if 200+ is highway miles, then city could conceivably be close to 300... but if the 200+ is city miles, highway might be only 150... I hope Tesla clarifies this someday, but in any case, the truth will come out when the car is released :)

Matt, how about buying an aircar when they are available and start getting them here in the US.
