600 mile range is good, I think now the electric might be good, other than, it will use "dirty" electricity to charge it, "dirty" batteries to manufacture them, cost too much.
AND just to be real, it is too fast for todays kids.

This is where the industry is going,  I don't believe that I will own an electric car.  They just don't shake rattle or roll.  But they are fast and becoming more efficient in their travel range.

Wait ! We just had an administration change, gas is creeping up . Heck maybe when it hits $15 dollars a gallon I maybe interested in one....

Tesla: silent, but deadly.  I feel the same way about something else.

Have any of these been produced?

Weren't they $250,000+  ?

[Side-Oilers]

Tesla: Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah.  (Another what-if like the Tesla Truck or 18-wheeler?)

If this comes to fruition,  I'll give it a solid nod for the incredible performance.  Those numbers are mind blowing.

But, it's waaaaayyyy too much power and acceleration for the typical greenie who will drive one. 

It needs to come with a warning sticker:  "Expect a big crash within the first half hour of ownership/lease-ship."

FYI, the projected range is severely impacted when the car is driven in cold weather (mainly thru heater use) and battery loss per year is projected to be 2.3% in mileage loss. Recycling of spent battery innards will be the next hurdle to gain some acceptance.

Yes, they still have some issues not to mention 7year life expectancy of 8,000 AA batteries, and an 8 hour recharging period.

I think eventually they will be as hot roded as much as everything else is though.

The Prius is spooky quiet and can creep up on you. Not so the Tesla's. They have a whine to them.

We have a bunch of the Tesla's running around the neighborhood. Very nicely assembled vehicle. Finish is high level.

Now you've figured out why Pelosi bought Tesla stock the day before they voted that the entire US .gov fleet shall be electric and made in America.

The the gov can buy a Ford they also will have some nice electric cars and the Cobra Jet E1400 is faster than the Tesla.
