Not just clean. Practically free and completely renewable.

In fact, in about 5 years time, Tesla Motors plans to have their supercharger stations set up all around the United States and Canada and they will all be fueled primarily by solar power and produce MORE electricity than the cars use. Which means the excess will go back into the energy grid and push back the meter. The end result is that you won't have to pay a dime to go anywhere in the country.

Elon Musk is a visionary. Love that guy

Human being is the biggest mistake on this planet!!! There are some times that i feel disgusted about us humans. Imagine how the planet earth would be if we never exist!

Good riddance! Electric cars are lame safety hazards, and the only incarnations of them apparently suck.

Then there would probably be another dominant species ruining it for everybody.

Sure they will. And the big oil gangster will somehow fiddle the prices of electricity so that it will be even more expensive than fossil fuel.

And if you don't believe that; power prices have already increased by nearly 200% in the last three years here in Oz; with more and hefty rises to come.

You don't believe these thugs are all green and fuzzy and are trying to find a way to save the planet do you?

Will there ever be electric car usefull enough to replace modern combustion-powered car?

You know, 800 km between 10minute refuellings and no limits on lights/heating/AC etc?

We can drive around on Mars in an electric car for two years but can't do it here on planet greed......indeed!!!

GMs electric car caused a nervous Japan to produce the hybrid car, and with a lithium ion battery pack install it can go 1600 miles on just one tank of gas. It’s affordable for the middle class, and if we all buy into it, our city smog problem will disappear overnight. For the upper classes there is the Tesla S model; zero to 60 in 4.5 sec with a range of 300 miles. It’s a great city executive car and will be my next purchase. Price starts at 50K. So I won’t get a corvette after all.

you dont get it

100 trillion $>public opinion

It's a no brainer who killed the electric car. But I like the end result, which is the hybrid car, the lithium battery packs, and flexible solar panels, and now you can get your ride customized so that you get to ride gas free. I won't buy a GM product. They sold out, and one in every four Californian can thank them for their lung related diseases.

We all can make the difference

the president should do something about it

This is so true, only problem is, as long as the world keeps hugging these fosile fuels to run our economy, this world is never going to change, thank you ancestors, for letting this great thing happen to us :)
