Tesla’s ex-CEO Shares New Car Experience - “Electrifying”

Former Tesla CEO, Martin Eberhard, recently shared his views on the first thousand miles of driving his custom-painted Tesla.  Apparently he is a fan, although he is very honest about his dislikes of the car.  These include such mundane things as his hatred of the overly complex navigation system, to more serious issues regarding stiff suspension, limited visibility, and lack of creature comforts.

On the positive side, he talk about all the attention his hundred thounsand dollar electric car is getting, and how much fun it is to zip around in traffic.  His longest trip was over 125 miles, and he still felt that he had the ability to travel another 30 miles.

    Yes, he got the car for free; if you call paying $100,000 for it “free”.
