????同日達成為現(xiàn)實。亞馬遜（Amazon）無人機配送即便能實現(xiàn),，也至少是三、四年之后的事情,。不過,，隨著亞馬遜和eBay等企業(yè)擴充自身配送團隊、縮短交付時間,，同日達將使數(shù)百萬希望下單后馬上拿到商品的消費者夢想成真,。雖然仍然有人對同日達持懷疑態(tài)度——弗雷斯特研究公司（Forrester）分析師蘇查雷塔?馬爾博盧去年11月表示，企業(yè)為此向消費者收取的費用不足于抵消其成本——在一定程度上,，各公司不過是為了爭奪日后吹噓的資本,。在客戶眼中，送貨速度最快的企業(yè)自然零售實力非凡,，哪怕他們通常并不需要同日達服務,。

????電動汽車邁向主流。美國電力驅(qū)動運輸協(xié)會（Electric Drive Transportation Association）稱,，插電式電動車2013年的銷量可能不足10萬部,，但這已經(jīng)比2012年銷量高了近一倍,。埃隆?穆斯克和他的特斯拉（Tesla）功不可沒。憑借頂尖的設計和一流的性能,，特斯拉令人刮目相看,。這家公司估計它售價逾7萬美元的Model S電動轎車在2013年銷量約為2萬臺——成為銷量最高的電動車。2014年,，特斯拉將推出Model X SUV車型,，百公里加速僅需4.4秒。而寶馬（BMW）也將推出外觀更拉風,、定價更低廉的新款i3電動車,。（財富中文網(wǎng)）

????Same-day shipping gets real. Delivery by Amazon drone is at least three or four years away, if it ever comes at all. But as businesses like Amazon (AMZN) and eBay (EBAY) swell their distribution ranks and trim delivery times, same-day will become standard for millions more instant gratification-loving shoppers. Never mind that same-day shipping still has its skeptics -- companies aren't charging consumers the full cost, Forrester research analyst Sucharita Mulpuru explained in November -- the race is now partly like a contest for bragging rights. In the eyes of the customer, whoever can get to your door quickest sends a powerful retail message, even if they don't opt for it much.

????Electric vehicles inch closer to mainstream. Sales of battery-electric and plug-in cars could number under 100,000 for 2013, but that's roughly twice 2012 sales, says the Electric Drive Transportation Association. Thank Tesla (TSLA), the avant-garde carmaker from Elon Musk for changing their image with top-notch design and sports car performance. The company projects it will sell 20,000 of its $70,000-plus Model S sedan this year -- the most of any electric car. Also entering the mix next year: Tesla's Model X SUV, with 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 4.4 seconds and BMW's cheaper, puckish-looking i3.
