AT THE National Rifle Association’s 138th annual convention, held this year in Phoenix, Arizona, 65,000 people poured through the doors.

Tesla Motors is an electric car builder from Northern California. Their mission is to be the next big player in the auto industry. For now they're focused on shedding the image of the sluggish, gutless, electric cars/hybrids that are on the market today.
These bad boys move like grease lightning with a top speed of 125 mph (electronically limited meaning just get ol' Frank The Tank to remove the restrictor plate and you'll unleash the full potential) and 0 - 60 mph in just 4 secs.
