Tesla Roadster Drives into the record books downunder

SlashDot
"The CEO of an Australian ISP has driven his Tesla Roadster into the record books, completing 501km on a single electric charge in the 2009 Global Green Challenge — beating the Roadster's official specifications, which rate the all-electric sports car as being capable of a maximum of 390km per charge.
The previous record was held by another Roadster in the 387km Rallye Monte Carlo d'Energies Alternatives in April this year.

In a race specifically designed for alternative energy vehicles (such as hydrogen and electricity),
the Roadster was the only vehicle to complete the entire course.
