George Clooney has had a long and distinguished acting career on both the small and big screen. He first gained notoriety as a TV heartthrob who played Dr. Doug Ross starred on the hit TV show ER, per IMDB. Since then, he has starred in blockbusters such as Batman and Robin, Oh Brother, Where Art Thou, and Ocean’s Eleven. His star power is impressive. He’s also one who puts his money where his mouth is, and that’s reflected in his activism on climate change.
Clooney is known for his work on combating climate change, with Fast Company reporting on a recent irreverent awareness campaign. As part of his dedication to the cause, he bought a Tango 600, a tiny, clumsy little electric car that hit the market before most people had heard the name Elon Musk.
The Tango 600 is a tiny car with two seats that ride in tandem, one in front of the other. It runs on electricity and is the perfect car for your son if you don’t want him to ever bring home a date. The Tango is fitting for a movie star because, according to Auto Evolution, the brand started manufacturing it before the EV trend took off and brought down parts prices, and therefore it cost over $400,000 to build. With no real market and no real buyers, it never seems to have taken off, leaving Tesla plenty of room to gain market share.
