[NSRCA-discussion] For Electric eyes only.. lol

Indeed!!! I like what Tesla Motors have done with their sports coupe. 
With minimal weight in the 300 hp motor (I've read the motor weighs 
75#s...wow!!)and no real transmission, the car can be made light. I've 
also read that batteries are not complete losses when they lose cells. 
Only the bad cells get replaced which keeps repair cost down. I like 
that aspect of these cars a lot. And the 200-250 mile range on a charge 
also works just great with simple overnight recharge cycles.

The price tag is the only thing that doesn't compute. Hopefully that 
will come down as more people buy into this "new" technology. IF I won 
the lottery I would buy one or three.

These are not your every day golf cart types, by any stretch.

Every one should know that Nikola Tesla invented the Tesla coil (duh!! 
make spark ignition practical), but did you know he invented the 
electric motor? (Among many other things that have revolutionized every 
day life). The more I read about this man the more in awe I am

Not exactly planes, but for those of us that like E stuff, here is some 
interesting video's.
Watch 2 and 3's video's.

Next time I'm at the track and there
's an E car there, I think I'll put 
my money on it.
Technology is amazing!
