Tesla Motors, manufacturers of performance electric cars (see Manufacturer, July, August) received a 2006 Popular Mechanics Breakthrough Award for its work in developing the Tesla Roadster, the world’s first all-electric production sports car.
Popular Mechanics salutes 10 advancements each year--and their innovators--that promise to shape the future by improving lives and expanding possibilities in the realms of science, technology and exploration. 2006 is the second year the publication has presented its Breakthrough Awards.
The Tesla Roadster is the first automobile to receive a Breakthrough Award.
"The Breakthrough Awards distinguish those ideas and inventions that are changing the face of technology, and the Tesla Roadster is leading an automotive revolution," said James Meigs, editor-in-chief of Popular Mechanics. "Martin Eberhard and his team at Tesla Motors have developed a car with something for everyone—speed, great handling, good looks and zero emissions."
Past Breakthrough winners include Hugh Herr for his advances in rehabilitative prosthetics, father and daughter duo Tim and Sarah Pickens for their rocket-powered bicycle, and the Microsoft Xbox 360.
