It Is An Interesting Client Business. Burn Rubber Not Gasoline!

Tesla Motors CarI am always saying how interesting our clients are. One of the perks in my business is to see what interesting businesses and projects people are working on in the Bay Area. Our high property prices dictate that many of our clients are working on interesting high profile projects.

I recently sold a second property to a client who I have known and advised for several years. He is an engineer in Silicon Valley who recently took a new job at one of the most interesting electric car companies I have seen. Being that my office is in Berkeley, California, I often see electric and hybrid vehicles traveling around the city. None of them look all that appealing, and I have also test driven them and they are not what I would call fun to drive.

I recently checked out the web site of my client’s new company Tesla Motors and it made me want to go out and buy one. So, although this is not finance or real estate related I thought I would post a bit about their new Electric Roadster.

The vehicle’s performance and engineering looks impressive. It is 100% electric, goes 0 to 60 in 4 seconds, and travels over 200 miles without recharging. Not to mention it is a beautiful looking sports car. The initial production run of the vehicle sold out in just 4 months. All I can say is, “Wow, I want one!”
