The Tryon Street Journal

Wow, what an analogy.  Doesn’t even compare.  In case you haven’t heard (and we on the East coast are slow sometimes), Tesla Motors is launching the eco-car/sports-car enthusiast market into a whole new realm.  0-60 in 4 seconds.  100% electric.  And looks like a Lotus. 

And not only are the cars awesome, the guys who are behind this company are pure Silicon Valley.  From BusinessWeek’s article:

So what makes Tesla think it has a chance?  The very fact that it has been build by outsiders.  After all, Detroit is hardly a model of corporate efficiency.  Tesla bills itself as Silicon Valley’s version of a car company. 

So who will be the first to buy one in Charlotte?

Enough said.
