Assuming you started in San Francisco with a fully charged battery, you'd get as far as San Luis Obispo, or maybe Pismo Beach. Then the battery would die. Like all electric cars, Tesla's $109,000 roadster is limited by its range - about 250 miles. Rabobank, based in the Netherlands, will cover the cost of the electricity, which isn't expected to be very high. Fully charging a Tesla costs about $4.

Bachelors from State University of Iowa (1944) and Masters from Roosevelt University (1975) help to unravel important requirements for modern communication. Early introduction to computer science (1966) trumps them. It's payback time. She's been "entitled" so long she hopes to find some good coming off the keyboard into the lives of those who come after her.
