-New electric car hits 130 MPH-The Tesla Roadster is Silicon Valley’s attempt to make an electric car cool. A sophisticated attempt to challenge Ferrari, Porsche, and Lamborghini with a electric car that goes 0 to 60-mph in four seconds. And it does it silently. The stealthy factor may well save this electric vehicle, if it can find buyers that are looking for speed without the racecar sound. Of course, you could just pump your favorite motor sound though the sound system if you have to hear the power under the hood. Aside from its impressive specs Tesla will still have to succeed where GM and other have failed-popularizing electric automobiles. For now, this is one to watch. It’ll be interesting to see if they can make any headway in an American industry known for its gas guzzling, loud, and large vehicles.
