CocolicoEach day, one green design.

If you like your bike, you’ll hate the Tesla Roadster. If you are like a Michael Schumacher, there’s a slightly a chance that you’d love it. It: This damn too fast roadster. So fast that if you drive it, you should consider subscribing at a Bugatti or Lamborghini Diablo local millionaire’s club.

Wait a minute. What’s the point to talk about this black hornet here in Cocolico? Because it’s an all-electrical car with a cool look and a top speed of 130 mph (210 kph). Great? Not that sure, because of its 6,831 Lithium-ion batteries that need a full recharge every 250 miles. Compared to the Loremo, a Swiss concept that runs 160 miles for one gallon of gas, it’s not sure that Tesla engineers broke a record with this model.

But the roadster is definitively worth the production to make sustainable development and all related field get into mainstream media. And if we consider the delightful Wired Magazine story about the car, it did quite well in attracting computer-centric and geeks entrepreneurs attention. And geeks rule the Silicon Valley, and its venture capitals.
