The brightest car to attend was the Tesla Roadster.

The Tesla Roadster is a battery electric vehicle (BEV) sports car that was produced by the electric car firm Tesla Motors (now Tesla, Inc.) in California from 2008 to 2012. The Roadster was the first highway legal serial production all-electric car to use lithium-ion battery cells and the first production all-electric car to travel more than 320 kilometres (200 mi) per charge. It is also the first production car to be launched into orbit, carried by a Falcon Heavy rocket in a test flight on February 6, 2018. The car is also the first production all-electric car with the top speed of more than 200 km/h.

Tesla sold about 2,450 Roadsters in over 30 countries, and most of the last Roadsters were sold in Europe and Asia during the fourth quarter of 2012. Tesla produced right-hand-drive Roadsters from early 2010. The Roadster qualified for government incentives in several nations

Chyrsler Pacifica Hybrid, owned by Michael Manning, had lots of interested parties. I noticed Michael said, "I pay more for car washes than I pay for gas."

Michael also brought his Chevrolet Volt.
The motorcycle beyond is also an electic vehicle.



A Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Bolt rounded out the many cars in attendance.
