A Dinner and A Tesla Roadster Ride with Greg !

With my former boss at  Great Mall, Milpitas, California with his Tesla Roadster Sports Car

Maria Queri, my colleague and based at SunPower Corporation U.S.A., our headquarter  arranged for  a dinner with my former boss, Gregory Reichow who is now the Vice President for Powertrain Manufacturing Operations at Tesla Motors Inc., U.S.A. Greg has a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and has a passion for building cars. 

Tesla Roadster ... elegant and sporty looks and moves like a race car but so quiet. Whoosh !!!!

Tesla Motors Inc. is a Silicon Valley-based company that designs, manufactures and sells electric cars and electric vehicle powertrain components. Tesla Motors is a public company that trades on the NASDAQ stock exchange  like SunPower Corporation U.S.A.

With my former boss, Greg and Tom Atchison

The dinner was a good timing since most of my former boss' direct staff were there for the Operation Review at SunPower Corporation.  It's been about one year since Greg left SunPower Philippines Mfg. Ltd. in May 2011 and we all missed him.

After our dinner, we all went to the parking lot to check on Greg's Tesla Roadster and got the chance to ride it. It was like a roller coaster ride.  The car was so fast.  It was Greg who was driving and we were just passengers.   The car can only accommodate one passenger so he had to take us one by one to experience the Tesla Roadster ride.



Greg took Boy Alfelor from Great Mall to Staybridge Suites Hotel where we were staying

It is my turn now !
