Sorry ... my bad. It did sound kind of over-the-top so I should have
gotten a clue. My mistake.

Dave,
It was entirely tongue-in-cheek. See my followup posting. I'm a huge supporter
of E-cars in general. I'm just jealous.

That seems like a pretty mean-spirited snipe at a company that has arguably
done more to bring electric vehicles into the mainstream than any other. Other
companies may have higher volume and lower cost models out there, but Tesla is
the first one with the conviction to prove it can be successful as a standalone
business instead of just a side offering to satisfy EPA average mileage
requirements. Certainly Tesla has started at the top end of the food chain to
do so, but their focus is headed toward the larger market ... demonstrating
along the way that electric vehicles don't need to be the underpowered laughing
stocks they were typically portrayed as.

As for any engineer rumored to own a Tesla: Who am I to comment on whether they
should raid their retirement nest-eggs to buy overpriced, overpowered,
conspicuously consumptive, middle-age-postponing sports sedans? (Isn't the 'T'
for Testosterone, something always in short supply? Might a Tesla be partially
covered by the prescription drug clause in one's medical insurance?)
Finally, regarding the mobile radio: Go for it. Driving a Tesla, you may very
well find yourself outside the cellphone network and many miles from that
elusive next charging station.
