Tesla Motors was featured on the PBS documentry series, Nova. That episode deals with companies that are building energy efficient cars.

Here's the link for that episode on Hulu:

If you'd like to skip ahead to the Testla Motors segment, it's at the 41min. mark. Most of the Testla cars are made from carbon composite matrials, which are light as plastic and strong as steel. There's a segment on those earlier in the program, so I recommend watching the whole episode.

Personally, once they bring the price down on these cars to meet the needs of the middle class (unlike the $90,000 Testla Roadster) and extend the range for a long road trip (around 300miles), it's totally going to take off. But can Testla keep up with demand?
