Sweet episode.  Thanks for the vicarious living.  Where can I get 6831 batteries for my mini-van?

No financial commitment to Integrity for the ZAP plant - more of the same ZAP false hyperbole revealed perhaps!

Really enjoyed listening to your Tesla test drive!  Too cool!  Were y'all able to get some video as well?

Awesome guys! I could imagine it! I'll bet you worried the Telsa people half way through the test drive. And ryan got scared at 40mph! LOL

Got any video of the test run?

Really enjoyed this episode! Probaly as close as I'll ever get to a ride in a Tesla. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Maybe you could setup test drives in the other electric vehicles that are availible and brodcast your impressions as you drive.....Triac,Apetera,Zenn etc. it would be great advertising for them and good feedback for Evcast nation.

That bad larry accelerates so fast, and the course is only so long, that it feels like if you don't ease up on the gas...um...rather, accelerator...you're going to crash and burn! You woulda been scared too, Mr. Gav! Wink The video (and the MPH gauge) do not do the experience justice! It was a WILD ride!

Ahh- thanks for the video too guys- again, way too cool!  And I do not blame you for being cautious Ryan- you don't want to end up like that test driver in France;-)

Sherry Boschert or plug-in Ameria was on NPR Science Friday talking about plug-in cars.  Not a lot new there, but a good discussion.
