Tesla at the Clipsal 500

This seriously is one of the highlights of this year’s Clipsal 500. Part of Murray Walker’s Extreme Machines display, the Tesla is one of the first serious attempts at an electronically powered sports car. In that it uses the cutting edge of current automotive technology, I’m surprised they didn’t advertise, or mention over the PA system that one of the extreme machines was a Tesla. When it went past I thought, ‘What is an exige with funny headlights doing there? They aren’t even accelerating hard (hardly any sound); seems out of place’. Now it makes sense. For anyone who is there today or tomorrow, this is a must see.
