Tesla vs Electro-Metro!

Hey EVeryone!

Tomorrow, I am taking the Electro-Metro to a ribbon-cutting grand opening of an Electric Vehicle Charging Station!

There will be a Tesla Roadster there as well, but I am pretty sure all the TV crews are coming out to see the homebrew Metro.

I mean WHO NEEDS 200+ miles per charge and crazy acceleration when they could have $10 hub caps, an open source controller, and a dashboard virtual picture frame!

So anyways, I'm taking my camera and will try to get some nice photos of low-budget meeting high-budget.

Maybe if I really beg, they will allow me to stare at the Tesla.
