I see tesla much like apple. They don't make cars that people want they make cars that people are going to want, there's the difference. You don't copy whats around now and try to better it, you make something no one else is doing and create desire for it.

@r3vmixman Normally I dislike these 'missed the like button' comments because they're stupid. But yours truly made me laugh. Thumbs up. Fuck the oil companies.

@DrMattyKay Oil is gonna run out eventually though... Electric car batteries are becoming smaller and more efficient and more parts of them can be recycled. When they become completely recyclable, they will be a lot greener... and when the electricty comes from renewable sources. They are getting better, but there's still room for improvement in EVs.

@eldictator1

"going to want"

Example:

Why would anybody want to siphon away loads of cash for Crapple i7 laptop at $2500, when they can virtually attain the same hardware configuration for $1000-1500 as a PC? Because its pretty looking? Macs are by no means safer either. In fact, Mac products usually are the first to fall like flies every annual pwn2own hacking contest.

@eldictator1 you're a ignorant piece of horseshit. Its a car than can go around 500km on electricity instead of oil. Its a car with elegance, without sound. Mabye it doesnt have that 67' style but its a viecle to get from a to b with elegance and you can do it with a good conscience.

Think twice bitch.

Does anybody remember what the range and power of first generation automobiles was? It was racing leagues that helped advance car technology in performance and safety. There needs to be an all Electric counterpart to NASCAR and the technology will be advanced through necessity. Am i the only one that sees this?

@Saebeck32 Just change the battery over, you can quick swap it in 3 minutes apparently.

And the 85 kwh battery costs just under $12 to fully recharge at 14 cents a kilo-watt hour (my off peak rate) and just under double that at peak rates, so it's still far cheaper.

And that's the 300 mile model.

Hey people if you don't like the car that don't comment because it's a cool car and most likely the best car look at it I got one on reserve

[Saebeck32]

This would be mine if i could afford it. I'll take the 2012 electric ford focus. I only need like 40 miles on a charge, and thats on a heavy driving day. I want an electric car that can recharge in 5 minutes!!

Nice looking car. I would buy one.
