Tesla Paving the Road for the Future

Eco-friendly is all the rage nowadays.  With the world becoming as polluted as it is this is a step in the right direction.  When asked are you eco-friendly? The majority of folks will say yes.  That is until eco-friendly disrupts their daily lives.  Most people are unwilling to turn the AC off for an hour a day in order to save the planet let alone cut back on their car emissions.  In the past decade with global warming becoming more of a mainstream belief we have seen major car companies shell out money in the hopes of developing more efficient vehicles whose footprint on this earth are less damaging. 

Ford most notably known for its gas guzzlers has come out with the 2014 Ford Focus Electric Car.  Unlike other ford focus which are fuel efficient, this model is powered exclusively by lithium-ion batteries.  The 2014 Ford Focus Electric has an EPA-estimated rating of 110 city MPGe.  MPGe is the EPA equivalent measure of gasoline fuel efficiency for electric vehicles.  So your basically looking at 76 miles per each charge.  With seat fabric that is made with 100 percent recycled materials and cushions made of bio-based foam which derives from plant seed oils even the interior is eco-friendly. 

Unlike Ford, Tesla has always been behind the eco-friendly movement.   Founded in 2003 Tesla Motors didn’t post profits until the year 2013.  With this new movement Tesla is continuously seeing growth in its profits. Tesla Motors first gained widespread attention by Producing the Tesla Roadster.  The Tesla Roadster was the first fully electric sports car.  Sporting an AC induction motor and single speed gear box the Tesla Roadster can go from 0 to 60 in 3.7 seconds.  Not bad for a car that is powered exclusively by Lithium-ion batteries.  The power source has 6,831 individual cells which take 3 and a half hours to charge from empty to full using the Tesla high power wall connector.  Customers have gone on to state that they are seeing a significance savings.  A person can charge their car to go 100 miles anywhere between 2-4 dollars.  Try going 100 miles on 2-4 dollars worth of gas and see how far that gets you. 

These have been great innovations in the automobile world.  With great toys though come great concerns.  With the price of Tesla Roadster hovering in the 50-60 thousand mark and specialized charging stations that hover aroun3 grand it would be wise to have proper protection against break-ins.  What better way than a safe Garage door.  Hudson valley Overhead doors  and their  LaGrange Garage Doors will provide you with the needed security.  Contact them today.
