Congratulations St Johns College students and staff. This is the first step to building a Tesla Model S. Imagine would happen if the cycling club (carbon fiber, low rolling resistance), got together with the rowing club (aqua/aerodynamics) who got together with the golf cart folks (motor/controllers/drivetrain) who called the solar folks (PV power). We have forgotten the basics that we knew back in the day...Forward, Upward, Onward, Together. We live in the solar capital of the world, and we can do great things as a tiny nation...but we are too divided to win. We are like the town next to Niagra falls that didn't build a hydroelectric dam, because the town elders were all attorneys who's only interest was a 30% take on the flow of water.
