Tesla Roadster This pleasant city a short drive south of San Francisco is home to Tesla Motors' design and development headquarters. Before us are two prototypes of the production Tesla Roadster, the first fully-electric sports car that is to be produced and sold to the public beginning in early 2008. As Road & Track Deputy Editor Matt DeLorenzo and I board our designated prototypes, it's comforting to know that our Tesla hosts are 1) completely confident to let us wring these things out in the nearby twisties, and 2) going to let us do it even though it's pouring down rain!

traffic-reducing design Green cars are tame cars, right? Well, the Tango - a head-turning, lane-splitting, all-electric two-seater that sprints from zero to 60 in four seconds - debunks that inconvenient truth while tackling a part of the transportation problem most alternative vehicles overlook: traffic congestion.
