The Tesla Roadster 100
What goes from zero to 60 in 4 sec., tops out at more than 130 m.p.h. and appears to be missing a gas tank? The Tesla Roadster 100. It's pure California: a hot sports car that doubles as a statement against pollution and oil dependence. Its massive lithium-ion-battery array can power it for up to 250 miles of highway travel, and even though it will fatten your electricity bill, the Roadster is still twice as efficient as a Toyota Prius.
The Tesla Roadster produces one-tenth of the pollution and is six times as efficient as the best sports car.
The 20071/2 model has sold out at $110,000 but reservations are being accepted for the 2008 model.

Only $110K for a sizzlin'-hot Tesla? I wonder how many Weber's that would buy? Maxwell's?
Was that Weber carburetors or Weber gas grills?
Sorry, bad nerd joke.
The tesla, equal to one weber per square metre.
The weber is a large unit, equal to 1 T m2 = 108 maxwells.
So you could buy 1 Weber or ~109 Maxwells. I don't know how many BBQ's, carburators, or cups of coffee that would buy. A lot is my guess.
Ooops. Make that 109,000,000 maxwell's (10^8)
Those German physicist...
