Tesla was one of the greatest inventors of all time. He invented the multi phase A/C motor!
The basic design has not changed much in 75 years. It was a giant leap from the DC motor it is hard to explain.
The high voltage transformer in all CRT displays are modified Tesla coils. Before this making high voltage was almost imposable.
We had DC power lines with short range and no easy way of changing voltage before Tesla proved that A/C was better.
I hope the Tesla motor car company does well and I’m sure they will with all the 2008 cars sold and I bet when people start seeing them around many more will be sold.
Thy do plan on making a lower priced 4 door electric but the coup need to sell well first.
They have a nice website.
It’s rare that I wish I were rich.
A ZAP PK can be purchased fo about $9500 after the Calif Reabate.
It wont go 0-60 in four seconds but it only costs Two cents a mile to drive.
And you can buy one right now no waiting list.
