ABG First Drive: Hitting the road in the Tesla Roadster! {Autoblog Green}
Jul 16th 2008 1:57PM Great analysis from the first drive. It'll be interesting to compare ABG notes to the thoughts from owners as Tesla Roadsters are coming off the production line: http://greenhome.huddler.com/products/2008-tesla-roadster-coupe
Tesla sends out a new production update to customers {Autoblog Green}
May 15th 2008 6:26PM I actually got to see a Tesla in the flesh the other day outside of SF Green. While I'm certainly not on the wait list, it was exciting to get a tour of the features and to look at it up close. I posted a few pictures over here: http://greenhome.huddler.com/forum/thread/329/up-close-and-personal-with-the-tesla-roadster
Larry Sonsini joins Tesla board to provide guidance on future direction {Autoblog Green}
May 13th 2008 5:43PM Let's hope Larry can keep Tesla going given that Fisker is counterfiling (http://www.news.com/8301-11128_3-9942731-54.html).
Fiat replaces water with special wax {Autoblog Green}
May 8th 2008 4:06PM They could also help support some of the companies out there making biodegradable, non-toxic, waterless car washes like any of these products: http://greenhome.huddler.com/products/category/car-care
Toyota Prius price climbs $400, other Toyota/Lexus models see similar increases {Autoblog Green}
May 5th 2008 8:55PM Yeah, to be honest, I'm not surprised that the price is going up. I am curious though how much the price will go up for the 2009 model. And what people will think of the "longer, faster, etc" thing going on. It does look like folks are liking their 2008 Prius models: http://greenhome.huddler.com/products/toyota-2008-prius-base-hybrid-electric
Ohio refuses to license electric 3-wheelers {Autoblog Green}
May 5th 2008 2:13PM That's crazy that they won't register the 3-wheeled EVs. If anything, they're safer than motorcycles! Let's just hope that the law gets changed relatively quickly so that people don't get discouraged from adopting the technology. And if anyone gets a chance to drive an NmG, it'd be really cool to read your review: http://greenhome.huddler.com/products/myers-motors-nmg-ev
VW Jetta TDI Cup cars hit the track for the first time {Autoblog Green}
Apr 28th 2008 5:58PM Such a shame that VW killed off the TDI dieself hybrid: http://greenhome.huddler.com/forum/thread/151/69-mpg-vw-golf-tdi-hybrid?replies=7
Is GM "a genius or a dolt for developing the Volt"? {Autoblog Green}
Apr 28th 2008 5:56PM I absolutely agree. Of course consumer demand plays a big role in the development of the EV/alt fuels industry (and perhaps we'll see a bit of a drop in demand of McCain and Hillary keep advocating for the suspension of gas taxes - http://greenhome.huddler.com/forum/thread/289/mccain-and-hillary-suspend-the-federal-gas-tax-obama-don-t?replies=3 - yet another reason I'm against that). But in terms of the future of the car industry, market forces, and the environment....let's sure hope that the Volt doesn't die like the VW TDI Diesel hybrid.
EVS23: A ride on the Brammo Enertia electric motorcycle? Sweet (video) {Autoblog Green}
Apr 28th 2008 5:49PM I am very excited to see the Brammo hit the roads toward the end of this year. Not only is it attractive, but clearly it'll be a great alternative as gas prices keep increasing and as people start decreasing the size of their vehicles. If anyone has had a chance to ride one, here's a site about green products where you can write a review of the Brammo: http://greenhome.huddler.com/products/brammo-enertia-electric-moto
Incorrect tire pressure responsible for 18.4 metric ton of extra CO2 emissions {Autoblog Green}
Apr 28th 2008 3:31PM Yikes. I knew that driving with under inflated tires was bad but that's a pretty horrifying statistic. I've definitely added it to this wiki on maximizing your fuel economy: http://greenhome.huddler.com/wiki/maximize-fuel-economy-with-traditional-fuels
