Los Angeles was the place to be Thursday night as Tesla unveiled the gorgeous new showroom that will be selling the unbelievably sexy all electric car. Guests were treated to test drives (Matt Petersen of Global Green admitted to getting butterflies in his stomach) and chef Acaia's delicious sustainable fare. Daryl Hannah discussed the virtues of biodiesel with the founder of EcoNation (a new alternative fuel limo service that just launched in LA) and Quincy Jones sang the praises of the dream car to Tesla co-founder, Elon Musk. All in all, the successful event was chaulk full of LA celebs and the Silicon Valley tech elite wanting to get close to the eco-rocket that goes zero to sixty in less than four seconds and gets about 250 miles per charge....The only problem was that there was no Veev or Square One Vodka in sight so I am suffering from a slight hangover, but I must say that hanging out in this showroom made me excited about the future of alternative vehicles. The evening came to an abrupt end when one of the drivers crashed through the showroom window, injuring Lindsey Lohan and her hybrid trio of teacup chihuahuas, which had been dyed green for the event...just kidding (but sounded so LA, right?)!
