One company seems to have the answer to that question with their lineup of electric cars, solar panels, and battery packs for homes. Since 2008 Tesla has made a huge impact on the way current generations are dealing with sustainable energy and how we could incorporate it into everyday products. Tesla uses all three rhetorical appeals by incorporating ethos, logos, and pathos throughout their website to make their argument of them having the worlds "best" and "safest" products. Using these rhetorical strategies, they appeal to many "future forward" thinking families who are interested in having the latest in technology with compelling products.

    A lot of people love to hear about energy efficient and environmentally friendly options out there.

Gasoline is very expensive today, and using the energy that is used to power our home, is much less expensive and more available than gas.
