The first Tesla Roadster was delivered to the company chairman Elon Musk on Friday and what else was there to do but take it on a joy ride, with four other Teslas, and prove that the transmissions won't fall out on the ground and be dragged behind the celebrated 'lectric sports car like so many sad cans in the wake of a ill-conceived marriage convoy. Roadster Number One is reportedly the first production model, which may or may not be driven anymore by Musk, in the aftermath of this little spin. The other four? Hangers-on and yes-men looking to ride the coattails of Tesla the First through the mean streets of Berkeley this past weekend, proving their ruggedness. Enough with the PR (even though Tesla just fired its PR agency)! Can you guys just start delivering cars already, please? [Wired]
