Tesla Motors has come out with an eco-friendly car. So, what’s the big deal? According to the website, the Tesla Roadster is 100% electric, goes 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds with a top speed of 125 mph, burns no oil, gets 244 miles per charge and only costs pennies per mile. And the question that everyone wants to know…how much does it cost? “The 2009 Roadster available to US residents has an estimated base price of $109,000.”

But wait there’s more: The site also states, “The tires and the battery of every Tesla Motors vehicle are recyclable. The cost of recycling is built into the purchase price of the car, so there‘s never a reason “why not” to recycle.”

And more: “The typical four-cylinder engine of a conventional car comprises over a hundred moving parts. By comparison, the motor of the Tesla Roadster has just one: the rotor. So there’s less weight to drive around and fewer parts that could break or wear down over time.”

Of course there are many advantages to driving an electric car. The Tesla Roadster has reduced dependence on foreign oil, zero emissions, and a cost of less than two cents per mile driven. And finally, some countries and cities also offer carpool lane access and/or special parking privileges for electric cars, which would definitely be an added bonus to buying the car.

And last but not least, if my boss is reading this…a Tesla Roadster would make an amazing Christmas present. I particularly enjoyed the Premium Electric Blue or Metallic Twilight Blue. Just a thought!
