Music too loud

[dual85]

I agree. This soundtrack is kick ass. Then again, so is Autoblog Green. You guys are awesome.

@dxutube hmm...I know a solution :)

deliveries pushed back until 2012, from 2011---the harsh reality for those who back this bankruptcty expert, a sith african draft dodger, trained in toronto on the finer arts of fleecing america, funded by lord barry, king of election frauds.

SUP with the giant drivers ? shouldn't they be in vehicles that protect them in the event of the eventual accident ? Or has elon given then his personal OK with high elon/barry safety ratings

2: Requiring a subscription and rent of a battery pack, rather than just letting people charge x kWh and charge the price on their credit cards and 3: Monopolizing the charging stations so only select models will be allowed to use them. The cars planned for Denmark aren't even vaguely as effective or sleek as the Model S.

Well. Where I live, it's practicality only a matter of time. Charging stations scattered all over the country would make it virtually as good as a petrol car when you have a range of 480km. The only issue is battery degeneration, but I'm pretty sure the money saved from engine maintenance, oil changes and gas would make up for having to change that once every year or two. Though, I'm pretty pissed off at "Better Place" for 1: Planning to charge by the km (rather than kWh) (continued)

not true, they're opening dealers in london and new york soon. i only wanted to know because i think getting an internship there would look good on my college application, i think the car still needs work to be practical in the real world, and i'd take a normal car over an electric car any day.

[JodaSFU]

They only have showrooms in California, and they produce based on orders. To my knowledge, no other dealerships have been distributing them

You shouldn't have that much noise in the background.. I really wanted to hear how silent the car is.

lol thats just not true
