"...how about Erin Esurance?"


Esurance has a new "green" commercial with a smog monster and they urge you to go to their website and see how you can reduce emmissions by doing things they list like carpooling etc.

When I saw this I wrote them and had a bit of back and forth dialog with a customer Rep. I was urging then to put their money behind the green cause by giving insurance rate cuts to hybrids and extreme rate reductions to all-electric vehicles.

I told them I would switch to them if they showed to kind of support. The final word was "stay tuned".

From this:
Yesterday the Merc published a list of "would-be Tesla drivers."

The last mentioned is this one :

Brian Halla, CEO of National Semiconductor, told the Mercury News that he is a Tesla depositor.

By the way, I like having a "rumor" page as much as a "confirmed" page so contributions can go here to be vedded for here:

It's also fun to write the "should haves" as well.

Another "should have" mentioned by TEG.

Robert Redford (In Playboy)

“I drive hybrid cars. I’ve had passive solar heating and wind generation in my Utah home since 1975. But I must say, I do like racing fast cars. It’s a hypocritical, weak move on my part. But I’ve always loved speed.”

I saw this page and had to include this guy to "should buy" a Tesla list.

It's hard to sum up this man's 4 billion dollars worth of cars.

"During the 1990s, his family accounted for almost half of all Rolls-Royce purchases"

"The Daily Mirror (UK) reported on October 26, 2007 that the Sultan owned 531 Mercedes Benzs, 367 Ferraris, 362 Bentleys, 185 BMWs, 177 Jaguars, 160 Porsches, 130 Rolls-Royces, and 20 Lamborghinis ."

John Carmack, video game programmer legend, is scheduled to get #33. Apparently, he's going to be allowed to hack its firmware

Thanks for the link, Kardax - that was amusing.

Clever way to get him involved in systems development. Who knows, maybe we'll see "Carmack Regen" which scares the crap out of you when it engages.
