As we have learned at the opening of the Tesla Store In downtown Zürich, Switzerland is one of the strongest growing markets for the successful Electric supercar Tesla Roadster.Neverthess, with 250000 New Cars on the road every year, the two or three dozend Tesla roadsters seem to be an irrelevant number to swiss motorisation.

Not so the other day when i drove side by side on a swiss highway in my swisscleandrive Fiat 500 with a tesla roadster. I was heading for Zürich for another demo drive with the Fiat 500 swisscleandrive phev. Saving electricity, i was going thermal on 120 km/h As i spotted a bright orange Sports Car in the rearview mirror. It must Be a Lotus, i thought, waiting for the Sound of the Engine roaring when he was passing me. Impossible to come across a Tesla Roadster These days. As I let him pass, there was only silence. I quickly shifted to hybrid getting the full electric boost and followed the "TESLA" letters until I got the opportunity to pass him. I tried to make signs so the driver would realize I go electric too, but he didn't react to me at all. Probably was too much used to people waving with both hands and thumbs up when on the road in his bright roadster.

It was fun anyway. Just Imagine, driving the prototype of future technology side by side with the highlight of present mobility on a Swiss highway. Just perfect.
