Want a Tesla? You will now
Tesla cars are some of the coolest and most amazingly designed cars, of any car out there. It’s just a plus that they’re electric (it’s more than that; however, it that line works). In Tesla’s new promotional video they show the two cars battling each other on the road. If the cars are truly that fast has yet to be proven by myself, so I guess I have to go try one… It would be tacky not to, right?
