Tesla Founder's Blog is live and Martin's not happy! {Autoblog Green}
Jan 16th 2008 7:19PM I hope this is "just" a reorg and not a symthom that someone in the big established car business is pulling the strings in order to bury the company and its promising -and most needed- original project and vision.
It reminds me of the movie "Tucker, the man and his dream"... best luck to Tesla: the Roadster is absolutely mindblowing, and a great first (second, if you count the EV1) step in the right path to the future, many of us hope to be able to drive a more affordable EV Tesla model someday...

Ford analyst: Hybrid cost still a factor {Autoblog Green}
Sep 6th 2006 3:47PM ¿Altruistic reasons? What? Is the future of our children, our health and the environment's survival and our own's "altruism"?
The problem with you, corporate m*r*ns, is that you cannot see any benefit beyond money and stock value!
Problem, you know, is money is not breathable!
So benefits of (P)HEVS are not limited to money savings.
Mr. Pipas, do your company a BIG favor (and the rest of the world by the way) and begin contribute to reduce pollution, oil dependence, oil wars...:START MANUFACTURING PHEVS NOW!(I promise to buy one -and campaing for my relatives to do so- even if they are far more expensive than oil-guzzlers!)
Can biofuels hurt the environment? {Autoblog Green}
Aug 29th 2006 1:09PM The only real viale solution is electric cars (or pluggable hybrids insofar the gas engine is only used for emergency battery recharges)
Why on earth car makers are not producing them yet??? The technology is there, is available and the demand DO exist!!!
In the long term a network of electric charging stations need to replace existing fuel ones. Energy could come from solar panels atop the station's roofs and/or wind turbines and/or stirling solar-powered engines near the premises
Rest of the energy should come from wind-turbines, hydroelectric stations in dams or fision nuclear power plants (until we figure out how to generate energy from fusion reactors)
Meanwhile we should start as well using smaller, more efficient cars, sharing a single car for several people commuting, press our employers to enable telecommuting policies at our jobs and using public transportation to move inside cities. We need to stop burning fuels to move!

Jul 20th 2006 8:20AM Hope it does not become another Tucker Car or EV1. Best luck with the car and hope Tesla soon produces some mass-consumer model!
