I heard the story of this car a few years ago, I remain sceptical but hopeful! That Nikola Tesla was a genius is not in dispute, whether this car existed or could do what it is suggested it could do, who knows???

I totally agree that the car shown in the photo and said to be Tesla’s 1930 Pierce Arrow is not the car it claims to be. The hood ornament is wrong, the badge on the radiator is wrong (blue ford oval), and the headlights and bumper are wrong.

It is too bad that the loonies out there do not do adequate research for their articles when trying to prove their point. Stupid errors simply help to discredit their claims.

Shame, Shame, and more Shame for being lazy and inacurate.

And – I am not even an antique care expert. Just visually aware!

This is not 1930 Pierce Arrow! It is Lincoln.

I agree with Tubular Swells. Tesla was very bright, the fact of the matter is, we have no proof. Cause Tesla usually(If not ever) did not write anything down. He saw the object in his head and how it was made. To him that was a fair reason to believe it would work. So for all we know he could of built that vehicle. And like it said up their:
“They didn’t want to be responsible for a car which ran for free.”
“No free rides for us.”

Joe,

Learn to spell and read a little history. If you think that Nikola Tesla was “not that bright”. You might want to say a word of thanks to him every time you turn on a light in your house, turn on a TV or electrical appliance that runs on Alternating Current.

Unfortunatly I dont believe it. Nicola tesla was a bright man but not that bright. His ray weapon mighthave exsisted how ever I dont believe that the car could draw the power to move it’s self. I believe that this story has been passed around the intenet and got bigger each time some one told the story. Look up the diffrent stories and you will see what i mean. pay attention to the number of vacume tubes and what not

Tesla,one of the greatest inventors ever,is finally reckoned.
Even if it was fiction, what can be wrong in finding out what his clue was,there are several patents that are nowadays taken up again, all over the world.Imagine free energy for everyone.

I have been working on this electrical generation problem for the past few years. Those of you who think Tesla was crazy or the story was fiction, just wait. I have a new generation of power supplies WORKING that produce FREE electrical power using some of the work done by Tesla. A model to be used in today’s cars, getting unlimited MPG, is months away.

Sorry, the story of Tesla’s Pierce-Arrow is a fantasy that started to make the rounds in the late 1960′s. This fantasy story would have died out, but people keep posting it over and over again on the Internet, all referencing each other. The reason no one references any original Tesla documentation is because there is none. He never did it.
Tesla never built an electric Pierce-Arrow, or any other car even remotely like what is claimed.
Tesla actually did accomplish quite a number of great things; why muck up his legacy with make-believe?
