From my sister Nicky: Dudes, Take a quick peek at this beauty: [http://www.teslamotors.com](http://www.teslamotors.com) Welcome back, electric! If you can get me from 0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds (even beating cars like the Porche Turbo at 4.2 seconds) and still be far more efficient than any gas-powered car, I’ll take you any day!! Taking into account how much CO2 is released in the production of electricity, the Tesla Roadster creates 46.1 grams per km while the Porche stands at 328.2 g/km and the Prius… 151.7 g/km. This car costs a rather reasonable 99 grand, base price. I can’t wait until this technology is affordable for the average buyer. Just imagine how much less we’d pollute… and the convenience! Just plug it in and go 🙂 Rejoice!! 😃 Energy specs: [http://www.teslamotors.com/learn\_more/energy\_efficiency.php](http://www.teslamotors.com/learn_more/energy_efficiency.php) White papers: [http://www.teslamotors.com/learn\_more/white\_papers.php](http://www.teslamotors.com/learn_more/white_papers.php) ---

I never claimed to be a spelling bee champion…but when the link for the topic you’re searching for has the correct spelling, you should have followed that. I was merely stating that the reason your search results came up the way you did wasn’t because you searched for “tesla”…but that you searched for “telsa”…get over yourself, I wasn’t lecturing you on how to spell. ---
