(of which Autoblog and AutoblogGreen are a part) is a big fan of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/tesla\/\">Tesla<\/a>, and now he&#8217;s announced that he&#8217;s giving one away. Calacanis is already the owner of an early <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/roadster\">Tesla Roadster<\/a> which he let us drive in late 2008. Even before he took delivery of his Roadster, Calacanis announced his intention to buy the company&#8217;s second vehicle, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/model+s\">Model S<\/a>. When Tesla unveiled the sedan last spring, Calacanis made good on his promise and put down deposits on two of the upcoming electric car, including serial #1. <\/p>\n<p>Now Calacanis wants to give away his second Model S by getting his newly established Twitter account <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/auto\">@auto<\/a> to number 1 on the micro-blogging service. That position is currently held by actor and cougar-catcher Ashton Kutcher who has over 4.2 million followers. As this is written, <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/auto\">@auto<\/a> is up to almost 1,000 followers after only one hour.
