I’m still backing Tesla. http://www.teslamotors.com/
They went into full production two weeks ago, looks like they figured out the transmission problem and are now boasting 0-60 in 3.9 seconds with a 135mpg equivalent at .02 cost per mile. The big difference is that other than the rest of the green cars, women will want to ride in your Tesla, nobody can steal it because they wont be able to power it up and old people wont yell at you for driving too slow. They will hit the streets in a few months. Their marketing strategy is brilliant, rather than market to eggheads or environmentalists, their first design is the fastest and sexiest thing on the road, every celeb has already bought one. Next they will come out with their planned 4 dr that is closer to 50k, then it’s on like Donkey Kong.March 29, 2008 at 11:24 AM #178482temeculaguyParticipantI’m still backing Tesla. http://www.teslamotors.com/

My concern is that since the power plant is basically a bunch of laptop batteries, they are going to wear out after only a couple years. Thats the downside of lithium-ion batteries.
I also still wonder if in the long run these are better for the environment, as much of our electricity still comes from fossil fuel.
