Model S

The Concord Journal carried a nice article about Nicolai this week covering his involvement with Powerade and trip to Barcelona to meet Andres Iniesta.  First Spain, then Italy, and today Nico is off to California to visit with Kyle for a week.  He is racking up the frequent flier miles.

My day started with a very enjoyable test drive of a Tesla Model S.  In twenty five years, I predict people will look back and regard the internal combustion engine as a relic.  This is the car that will have set those dominoes in motion.  It is a no compromise Automobile 2.0 whose only downside is an exorbitant price tag.  As battery technology improves, electric cars will eventually cost less than their petroleum fueled counterparts. Despite the extreme temptation to pick up the Model S, I think I will stick with my original plan and wait until the company comes out with their all wheel drive Model X cross-over, scheduled for release in 2015.
