"...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." http://www.mercurynews.com/search/ci_6790523
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: Semi-Confirmed owners list
It's also fun to write the "should haves" as well.
I lke Jon Stewart and Stephan Colbert | |

“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.” http://www.ecorazzi.com/?p=4133

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 ."
