For my opinion, yes. I like to read about scientific discoveries. An once I saw one small article here is an excerpt:
"In 1931, the restless Tesla demonstrated a new phenomenon. The gasoline engine was removed from an ordinary car and an electric motor was installed in its place. Tesla then attached a small box under the hood with two rods sticking out of it. Pushing them forward, Tesla said: "Now we have energy." After that, he got into the driver's seat, pressed the pedal, and the car drove off. Tesla drove it for a week, developing a speed of up to 150 km / h. The car had no batteries or accumulators.
When asked where the energy comes from, he calmly answered: "From the ether that surrounds us." Rumors of the electrician's madness began to circulate again. This angered Tesla. He removed a mysterious box from the car, burying the secret of his electric car forever."
