The lack of a roaring engine might make traditional car lovers displeased, but frankly, I find it to be extremely cool and new age!

Google for "GM's EV series" cars that they had years and years ago. Fully electric cars that they buried under pressure from the oil industry.

Very true. But it's fantastic that there are now so many more electric cars on the road than there were back then (tesla roadster, tesla sedan, chevy volt, nissan leaf, etc)

This car is absolutely insane. I have not taken any test drives or anything but looking at the specs ....almost 300 mile range 0-60 in 3.9 and like... a 3 hour full charge this would be so awesome to have right now! Gas prices are still kinda okay in silicon valley but since i drive a gas guzzler 300 miles can really do my wallet a HUGE FAVOR. Cars like these coupled with sustained Fusion power (hopefully arriving in near future) would be a dream! Too bad the car is $100k

Nice comment at the end : )

I love the Tesla Motor noise way better! Did you know it was recorded and used as Batman bike noise in The Dark Knight?

I like it.... It's fast, and totally ruthless.

Yeah, I know, "Who Killed the Electric Car" covered it pretty well. It really pissed me off to see that. I doubt everyone can afford a Tesla right now, but God I'd love to have one...
