You can't compare the Tesla to other "normal" cars though, how many people road trip in a Ferrari? Thats the market Tesla competes against. It is purely a rich people's toy.
Anyway I find it amusing that the most common counter argument is "but its range is so limited" when most people admit that on a regular basis they rarely need more range... I'd like to see electric cars put more demand on our electrical grid and finally force everybody to take a hard look at an overstressed system that needs modernization. Its failure of the grid which will force that and electric cars seem quite likely to force that failure. -Curt Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2012 07:58:18 -0500 From: Allan Streib <str...@cs.indiana.edu> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Tesla Model X unveiling tonight Message-ID: <m139ai26c5....@156-56-179-237.dhcp-bl.indiana.edu> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I don't have anything *against* electric vehicles per-se, I just find annoying the rose-colored advocacy that tries to rationalize away the very real limitations they currently have. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
