		<description><![CDATA[Tesla Motors is getting much attention again these days and it is not about its hit electric car.

Fast food, sweaty feet, coffee, and everything else add up to make a pretty unpleasant smell in the car.  That whole &#8220;new car smell&#8221; doesn&#8217;t last any too long once you drive it off the lot, and car air fresheners are a joke.  In some places they&#8217;re even illegal!  [...]]]></description>
