Just though you guys might me be interested.....
When Elon Musk debut paypal in the late 90's I was an early adopter. I understood it's added value and used it extensively to promote transactions that would have never happened with out of state buyers. Fast forward, today with govt funding and the second Tesla iteration and Elon's Tesla Motors has managed to wow again for the common man. Enter Motortrend's 2013 car of the year. Remember there are plenty of electric cars available but Tesla has managed to push the boundaries of electric luxury and performance like no other. I have been following the development of this car over the last year, due to a friend of mine taking delivery last weekend.

Why is this relevant - Well, it's the beginning of a new era for all electric. Sure we have the Nissan Leaf, Honda Fit EV but the Tesla is a game changer just as paypal was back in 1999. Mainly the execution is right and the vehicle sells itself. Honestly, I'll miss combustion engines as i believe the electric cars will take over in my lifetime (30 - 40 yrs) . The efficiency is there just a matter of economies of scale with with future products. And Tesla's next model will be 50k MSRP. Elon is quite the game changer....
