First time I've seen one of these Tesla roadsters out and about. :D

Boy...watching him accelerate from 0-60 was a treat. :eek:

I agree. My brother lives in Eagle, CO.
Gorgeous country up there.

We flew back from spring break along 24, 50 and 69 down into the Raton area. Beautiful views all the way. :D

Then we take a left over the flat (good for nothing but chasing Antelope) region called the Texas Panhandle. :(

I personally know some of the guys that formed NEDRA, the National Electric Drag Racing Association, back in the mid 90's, and actually got it sanctioned as part of the NHRA - had their own section in the rule book.

John Wayland, who lives out in Portland, was asked one time by a onlooker what kind of range he got out of the batteries in his drag car.

His reply - "At least a quarter mile!":D

They are pretty neat looking. I see them around here every once in awhile, and a dealer is just down the road from me.

I have seen a couple around here.

Those mountains are far cooler though.

Just what I thought, but I couldn't pick out Devil's Thumb...

Spent many years up in the mountains west of Boulder, near Ward..
