The world is changing, and you can be a part of it!
There’s no doubt about it: electric vehicles (EVs) are taking off. As people have become more concerned about reducing their carbon footprint, many car manufacturers have expanded their EV options. However, the company to keep your eye on is still Tesla.
Tesla started with only the sporty Roadster, but their options are expanding to more consumer- and family-friendly models, such as the more affordable Model 3 and the Model X, a roomy SUV. The Model X is one of the very first all-electric SUVs, and also the winner of numerous awards, including the distinction of the American Automobile Association’s Top Green Vehicle overall for 2017. This year, you could win one of your own.
The Illinois Solar Energy Association (ISEA) has been holding a fundraising raffle to win a Tesla for four years. ISEA is a nonprofit dedicated to educating the public about solar energy, as well as advocating for renewable energy legislation in Illinois. They see EVs, as well as solar energy, as crucial parts of the path towards a more sustainable world. This will be ISEA’s first year raffling the Model X – they had previously only raffled the Model S. They are excited that the EV world is growing and are proud to offer this new option.
Past winners share that same enthusiasm. “I entered the raffle because I wanted to support the solar industry in Illinois,” says 2015’s winner. “I figured that I wouldn’t win, but it was a good cause and I figured it would come back to me in one way or another (less pollution, maybe a cool car).” Once he did win, his test drive of the Model S proved to him that the car was everything it claimed to be. “I test drove the car and got to test the auto pilot software on the highway, which was amazing. It is a great car, very quiet and very fun to drive.”
