The Tesla Roadster, And Why Arnold Schwarzenegger Can't Own One

Tesla Motors is an automobile company that manufactures fully electric automobiles. Their first vehicle was the highly anticipated Tesla Roadster.

 Sporting good looks designed by Lotus, a range of approx. 200 miles, and a 0-60mph time of 4 seconds, this electric exotic changed the face of electric cars forever. The electric sports car was now a reality.
Tesla also is releasing their Model S, a cheaper (albeit slower - 0-60mph in about 6 seconds) and spacier vehicle for those who desire something a little different from the Roadster. Storage is in the back, under the hood and inside the cabin.

Both are great electric vehicles that represent the future of what electric motoring can (and hopefully will) be.

ARNIE ORDERS A ROADSTER - BUT CAN'T USE IT

According to Gawker.com, Gov. Schwarzenegger ordered a Tesla Roadster late last year, after it was finally pushed into full production. Arnie finally got his Roadster - and found out that he can't drive it. Why, you ask?

Because he's TOO BIG to drive it.

Apparently, California's latest Governor isn't sitting well with the hard-to-get-out-of Lotus-designed body - considering his *ahem* sizeable build. So he's trying to return it; but Tesla wants him to try it out - or at the very least let someone else in his family drive it - since the bad publicity of having a high profile public official return your car can harm your business. So what's Arnie gonna do?

Oh, I think I have an idea...
