As the proud owner of a Tesla 100% electric Roadster, I was delighted to hear that the Tesla worldwide community of owners has driven a collective 4 million Electric Miles!
That means that Tesla owners have driven approximately 160 times around the earth without a single puff of tailpipe smoke.
Simultaneously, we have saved 200,000 gallons of gas, almost 11,000 barrels of oil, and have prevented over 2,000,000 pounds of CO2 emissions -- which is the equivalent of taking almost 60,000 cars off the road for one day.
Happy Earth Day!
