Oh wait...this simply could not be true as many posters here have stated high tech vehicles are the domain of Japan and Europe YET Tesla Motors is a NA auto manufacturer...!!!!
another mass produced NA car for only.....120 grand
I think its funny how everyone thinks this is the enviromental choice, if your city is powered by a coal plant your actually throwing more carbon in the air.
Range of between 170 to 267 miles (according to the website). So you can drive on the highway for two hours before you have to make the decision to turn back or stop for 3.5 hours for a recharge. Expected battery life of 100,000 miles or 5 years (according to the website). Which means if you try and sell the vehicle in 5 years and haven't changed the battery pack out no one will buy the car.

Environmentalists have to understand that. The technology is NOT READY yet. You can't enforce someone to build something for a higher price with a decreased reliability. Where I disagree with you here is about is since it's a whole new technology than gas engine, doing 160,000km on the central part of the vehicule without changing it is not that bad. Think of everything else you have to change in a gas engine car before reaching that. Also, I think it would be a good thing to invest in those compagnies right now since, want it or not, this is going to be there sometimes when the technology gets more reliable.
Competition is heating up, this will be available in Europe next year.
Those Tesla roadsters are more for show, the real city car will come out next year as well.
