So I've been thinking about the Green Real Estate Revolution that will be happening in earnest in the not to distant future and I'm thinking about automobiles. Part of this is predicated on the fact that my Chrysler 300C is now worth more then I owe on it and that it doesn't really make the statement that I would want to make as a Green real estate company. However since the Tesla Class S hasn't come out yet (2011 - 2012) I'm debating the idea of trading in my car on something more Green.
The debate I continue to think about is this:
Does trading in my existing car (which I drive maybe 1000 miles / month) on something more efficient make environmental sense or does trading in a working car which obviously someone else will purchase and drive simply make the problem someone else's problem. Have I solved anything by trading in my car on something more fuel efficient at this point.
I'm a lot more emotionally interested in driving a Tesla Class S then I am a Prius even thought the Class S is about $15,000 more then the Prius..
Well that's it for my evening ActiveRain brainstorm.
Glenn, go for the Tesla, but if it's like the other model, I don't know where you'll put your clients.
