The 1,000th Tesla Roadster to roll off the production line made a closed-course run of 347.2 miles on New Years Eve and New Years Day, the new record (longest distance ever covered by a production electric car) may not stand for long though, Tesla Roadsters have been breaking records ever since the first record breaking run of 313 miles set in 2009 in the Australian outback.

The new record was set by a small team based in Texas, they call themselves Team VIN1000 after the fact that theirs is the 1,000th Roadster to roll off the assembly line.

I only wish I had been capable of being this productive on New Years Day.
