I Saw the Tesla!
I was in my car, driving home from work, and stopped at a stoplight. In the corner of my eye I saw a maroon-colored roadster on the next lane. “Ahh the Lotus Elise.” I thought, but as I took a second look, I noticed the words “T E S L A”. OMG its the electric roadster! Well it figures - their office is located in San Carlos, CA. And I think they already sold their first phase of production cars. Luckily I had my camera ready and managed to take a pic. I was going to follow that car, but, alas, I was too slow.

Tesla have taken pre-orders and deposits for about 350 cars, but if you order one today the wait is over a year. They haven’t yet delivered any cars to customers, that won’t begin until late this year. Thus, the car you spotted is only of only two engineering prototypes in the US! The rest of the prototypes are still being tested in England and Europe.
