Great episode, Veronica! :D
I believe that photo is by RJ Muna, a commercial photographer based in SOMA who specializes in commercial photography for car companies and fine art photos of dancers.
Will, thanks for the info. I’ve updated the photo credit.
Is Veronica wearing her seat belt? Properly?
he mentions that Tesla motors plans on selling cars that are “user friendly” …not sure how a $98k price tag is user friendly?
this car is based off the frame/design of the lotus elise which gets close to 40 mpg and sells for $39k
….hmm, not a difficult decision on which to buy.
Kind of ironic that the guy’s name is Zack Edson. Considering Tesla’s enemy was Edison.
I can’t wait for electric cars to be the only cars in existance.
I think it will be about twenty years before we see that happen though.
They will probably be more available in five years though.
