THE Tesla roadster is the only all-electric performance car in the world that people can walk into a showroom and buy. Because it is a left-hand-drive car, Mr Hackett - founder and owner of broadband provider Internode - is yet to begin the battle to get it registered.

The Tesla reportedly will top the 200km/h and has a range, with a mix of suburban and country driving, of about 380km. Mr Hackett, who has a maths-science degree, says electric, plug-in vehicles are the future, especially if solar or wind energy can be harnessed to charge the batteries.
