But what happens when you are on the road when you need to top up the batteries? I guess you can rent a hotel and take a 4 - 16 hour nap while your car charges.
but the time to recharge the tesla eco friendly style (ie wind power) with your standard home wind generator takes...600 hours...thats 25 days...and thats assuming its a solid 600 hours of wind. and if you think about it 55 miles is really terrible because you have to drive it back home to recharge it so realistically you can only go 27.5 miles before you have to turn around (this is assuming you want that 4-6 hour charge as oppose to stopping somewhere and waiting for 16 hours)

What the hell happened to all the YouTube undeletion sites anyway? I can't find a single one that's in any sort of usable state.

As James said in that episode, the FCX will do 0-60 in 9 secs and over 100mph, which is what you'd expect from a four door FAMILY SALOON.
