Lucky for me, they happened to be meeting just a block from my house and invited me to cruise with them. I rode in Rob Wilder&#8217;s &#8220;very orange&#8221; Roadster.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve ridden in a Tesla Roadster, and I&#8217;d almost forgotten just how quickly that car can accelerate. A Maserati pulled up next to us and tried to drag race us, but it was no competition. Even though the Maserati had a head start and made lots of loud noise, the Roadster&#8217;s quick, quiet acceleration made the Maserati appear to be standinding still. As my head pressed up against the back of the seat, I nearly forgot that this car gets 119MPGe and that, as Linda Nicholes would say, those are not gallons of gasoline, they are gallons of <em>sunshine<\/em>. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2138 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/pluginamerica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/img_0542-300x151.jpg\" alt=\"img_0542\" width=\"300\" height=\"151\" \/>That is because this particular Roadster is powered 100% by sunshine from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.revengeoftheelectriccar.com\/CustomContentRetrieve.aspx ID=1197784\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rob&#8217;s rooftop solar panels<\/a>.
