Electro Luxury

I watched CBS 60 minutes this weekend about Elon Musk who's the CEO and co-founder of Tesla Motors. This is the guy that founded PayPal and he is also the CEO of SpaceX; a forward thinking company working with private and commercial space transport. It was a good portrait, and I always find people that has the guts to take a big step out of their comfort-zone really interesting.

Tesla Motors is a young company (founded in 2003) that works on bringing us electrical cars without compromising with design and performance. They have produced three models so far and from what I've read on the internet most reviewers really likes what they see and experience.

As a gadget maniac, cool features like a really large touchscreen for information and entertainment in the front and a prepared slot to put you iPod in is really appealing.













As long as you choose where you buy your electricity from (sun, wind, water etc.) there are no emissions whatsoever with theese cars.



Model X

Model X is the SUV and will go into production in late 2013. It accelerates from 0-60 mph (96km/h) in under 5 seconds. On the homepage you can have a close look at it from a 360-degree angle.








Model S



This car is under production and deliveries will begin in the autumn of 2012. It's topspeed is 125 mph (200km/h). Accelerates 0-60mph (96km/h) in 4,4 sec. Estimated range (85 kWh) is 300 miles (480km) if you drive at 60mhp.






Roadster


On the website you can design your own and see exactly what it would look like with different colours, wheels, interior etc.  Accelerates 0-60 mph (96km/h) in 3,7 sec. The range is 245 miles (390km) per charge and top-speed is 125 mph (200km/h).

Radiation 24/7

We've already established my fascination with gadgets. I'm madly in love with my iPhone, my iPad (don't have one yet, but I love it), and my laptop. That it saves resources is also clear. Less paper, plastic and metal when you have everything online. Well, at least if you hang on to your gadgets for a while and don't exchange them too often...

But what does this constant exposure to radiation do to our bodies? How do we respond to radiation 24/7?

On my office desk there is one hard drive, two computer-screens and one phone with a wireless headset. In front of me, behind me and on both sides of me there are people with exactly the same things.

In my small office there are;
9 hard-drives, 18 computer-screens, 9 wireless headsets, two large TV-screens, one microwave oven, one wireless network and at least 9 cellphones. I spend at least 8 hours a day in that environment.


When I get home I'm surrounded by; one microwave oven, one wireless network, two laptops, two cellphones (both of them used as alarm-clocks), two tv:s (one of them in the bedroom), one blue-ray player, one stereo and one surround-sound system.

What does this do to our bodies and our peace of mind?

Electric cars in Norway

There are actually quite a few electric cars in Norway (well, at least in Oslo).
It's funny because you can tell by the registration plates that it's an electric car.
In Sweden, Norway and Denmark electricity is shortend to el in everyday language, and all the registration plates on electric cars here in Norways starts with EL.
