Tesla's Los Angeles Showroom Gets Presidential Drive-By 'Visit'

Tesla Motors' West Los Angeles showroom on Santa Monica Boulevard was on President Obama's motorcade route this morning. The president, who wants to see lots of electric cars and plug-in hybrids on the nation's roads, didn't stop in for a look and hasn't, far as we can tell, ordered a $109,000 Tesla Roadster for the White House fleet. But we bet this photo, by a Tesla employee, shows up in a lot of the EV maker's promotional material in the future. Hey, we couldn't resist.
