[FONT=verdana, helvetica, arial]"Brabus makes the Tesla even greener [/FONT][FONT=verdana, helvetica, arial]Most industries have a legacy mind-set but few are as heavily blinkered as the performance car industry. Recognizing that gas-guzzling sports cars will be seen as archaic as the fossil-fuels they burn a few decades from now, German ultra-performance remanufacturer Brabus has been quick to establish its green credentials. It was the first to offer customization of the Tesla Roadster and now the company’s ultra-exclusive TESLA Roadster Sport BRABUS Green Package includes a quick charge station for the customer’s garage, 30,000 kilometers (18,641 miles) worth of eco-electricity with which to run it and a one-year unlimited-use pass at all public RWE charging stations. Sadly, it’s only in Germany, but we can see this being the start of electric cars being marketed quite differently."[/FONT] More can be found here including info on an onboard "sound generator" here: BRABUS customized Tesla Roadster gets space-age soundtrack

Presumably because orenji wanted it to appear in the Tesla subforum. I suppose he wants to use this to somehow counterattack the attacks on Toyota from some of the Tesla fans. There appears to be something like a little Tesla vs. Toyota family feud going on here. Although I have loaned Tesla $1k at 0% interest for indefinitely, and signed up for a Tesla 3 (about 500,000th place on the waiting list), I also support Toyota's secret master plan. Until Porsche and the rest also produce BEVs in large quantities, the world is going to need a lot of ICE cars in the meantime. The cleanest and most efficient ICE cars are Toyota hybrid electric vehicles, and Toyota is also far ahead of the rest in HEV manufacturing capacity. During the transition to all electric cars, it would be best to minimize environmental and health problems by having a larger share of Toyota hybrids among the ICE cars, until there are enough EVs for everyone. Or maybe orenji simply forgot about the Prius, Hybrid, EV and Alt-Fuel News subforum.
