Usually, all it takes is one great achievement to finally get people to pay attention. Hopefully, the statement made by Motor Trend will get the auto industry to realize that electric cars are't made for the future, but for now.

Last month, Motor Trend named the Tesla Model S as the 2013 Car of the Year. Why is this a big deal? The Model S is a 100% electric car.

With such success from a 17-year-old movie in 3-D, people must love the effect 3-D has on a movie, right? Wrong!
