Swedish Commercial Touting Tesla Roadster « Peak Oil Garage



Swedish Commercial Touting Tesla Roadster « Peak Oil Garage: "A new Swedish commercial introducing the Tesla Roadster disses both Henry Ford and horses as major polluters.

The Tesla Motors Web site links to the commercial, now on YouTube, which promotes Fortum, an energy company that serves the Nordic countries and builds up to a glowing portrayal of the Tesla Roadster.

Before the Tesla Roadster makes its appearance, we see grim footage of oil field roustabouts that recalls the stark work of Dorothea Lange, the photographer known for her portrait of the “Migrant Mother” during the Great Depression. It also recalls last year’s Oscar-winning performance by Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood."
