::panhandles furiously:: - julianwan, on 07/01/2008, -4/+83in a holding container along with your grammar.
- hapax, on 07/01/2008, -4/+76Batteries not included.
- binorgog, on 08/07/2008, -4/+70Will Work For Electric Car
- JHaze, on 06/30/2008, -5/+70$30,000 and I've got to assume that in for years a battery will have a 300-350 range.
Sounds like a great car, no doubt I'll consider it. - enderwigin, on 06/30/2008, -23/+74It is the 21st century were is my flying car?
- EntreLangdon, on 07/01/2008, -3/+53Elon Musk is my freaking hero. Shall we look at his track record?
Founded a Newspaper CMS - sold for 300 million
Founded Paypal - sold for 1.5 billion
Founded a ROCKET SHIP company
Founded the first ELECTRIC CAR COMPANY to go mainstream in the US
Is there anything he can't do??
Help us Elon! We need a cure for cancer! We need a time machine! - ScottOrwig, on 07/01/2008, -5/+55Four years. Hear that Detroit? Please offer me a Ford that competes with this.
- DaDiggydiggyDOC, on 07/01/2008, -1/+4630k is more in my price range! The one thing that I do have to say about this car company is that they know how to make a cool looking car, and add in that I don't have to fill up...goodbye gas I won't miss you.
- xenoc1de, on 07/01/2008, -5/+50Let's here all of those "not affordable" complaints now.
Tesla is for sure moving us in a great direction. - YesImAChick, on 07/01/2008, -4/+47*four
- inactive, on 07/01/2008, -1/+38With a name like "AtHomeBoy2000" I'm not so sure people are going to be interested. Also, nearly everyone else here is male.
- emt1451, on 07/01/2008, -3/+40Just because they are male doesn't mean they aren't interested...
- gmoney1, on 07/01/2008, -2/+38so its going to cost 29,999.
- romistrub, on 07/01/2008, -1/+35Why do you want a Ford? Tesla is an American company, too! Plus, "Tesla" is such an awesome name.
- pensel, on 07/01/2008, -3/+36That would be so lame if Tesla won electric vehicle preeminence because the existing behemoths pussyfooted the risks like fricken newborn kittens.
Our auto companies are ***** terrible. - Carl306, on 07/01/2008, -2/+32No...
- PullingTeeth, on 07/01/2008, -2/+32I think I'll hold out for the Tesla Tank.
- inactive, on 07/01/2008, -1/+3010 years ago I'd have said that Tesla isn't an established business, but right now it seems like Ford/GM/Chrysler are closer to going out of business than Tesla.
- infinitus64, on 07/01/2008, -1/+28Yes correct there are no girls on the internet.
- KingGorilla, on 07/01/2008, -1/+27I wonder if he likes popsicles
- natenovs, on 07/01/2008, -2/+27@diggingaround - yes, for when you are out on the road, far away from a power outlet.
- binorgog, on 08/07/2008, -19/+44It's powered by a Flux Capacitor
- AtHomeBoy2000, on 07/01/2008, -6/+30i am willing to sell my body for sex. $1000 a day. any takers?
- NOFXY, on 07/01/2008, -0/+24Whats wrong with getting a used car? unless you're filthy rich and don't care about spending the extra cash, a decent used car looks and performs just as good (if not exactly the same) as a new one. You spend a lot less money on something that nobody will know and nobody will care about. common sense FTW.
- i70CuDa, on 07/01/2008, -0/+23Too bad I live in an apartment. No outlet
- fredmv, on 07/01/2008, -1/+23Dude, you post on Digg. A damned Real Doll probably wouldn't ***** you.
- feliks2, on 07/01/2008, -3/+23Nah, 29,995
- gradivus, on 07/01/2008, -2/+22So when will they actually sell ONE electric car instead of issue 50 press releases a day claiming they will someday actually maybe hopefully sell one.
- zman8479, on 07/01/2008, -0/+19Probably $29,999.99 + title + tax + license + destination
- mcbridea88, on 07/01/2008, -0/+19Teslas cars are some of the few electric cars I would buy in a heart beat.
- redxii, on 07/01/2008, -0/+19You could install Linux, just don't forget to compile steering wheel support, support for turning left & right, button/dash backlight support, etc. The windshield wiper driver is closed source and must be obtained from the manufacturer.
- lamiaconfitor, on 07/01/2008, -0/+17But do a fantastic job marketing it... kind of a double edged sword.
- bsonline, on 07/01/2008, -4/+2130k is still over 4 times more than I've ever paid for a car. I'm currently driving a 2003 Doge Stratus... I'd love to go all electric, but I'm going to need more people like you to drive 'em first.
- Betogonza, on 07/01/2008, -5/+22Just as I finish paying for my Huge V8 Pick up.
- Cornloaf, on 07/01/2008, -3/+20pics or it won't happen.
- inactive, on 07/01/2008, -0/+13I've been waiting for them to do this for so long. They can make performance cars for crazy amounts of money, but why can't they make just a plain old decent electric car for a decent price. What took so long?
- palmer, on 07/01/2008, -6/+19How does a company "go mainstream" without selling anything but empty hype?
- tehbored, on 07/01/2008, -2/+15Chevy Volt in two years. Probably gonna be around 40-50k though.
- n3demonic, on 07/01/2008, -1/+13"You can whore yourself out to 1000 fat chicks for $50 each... or 50 REALLY fat chicks for $1000 each... What? Fat chicks need love too, they just gotta pay for it."
- inactive, on 07/01/2008, -0/+12If I've said it once I've said it a million times - biking to work makes you sweat and sweat makes you stink. Maybe you don't smell it on yourself but some people I work with ride bikes to work and they smell like *****.
- strafefire, on 07/01/2008, -7/+18THAT'S OVER 9000!!!
- Ravatar, on 07/01/2008, -0/+11Depending on your city, I imagine some of the automated parking meter systems will include additions that let you plug your vehicle into them and automatically charge you for usage. Like Muni-Meters here in NYC for example.
- ElTomacco, on 07/01/2008, -0/+11No car weighs 1000 lbs. The Tesla Roadster weighs 2,700 lbs, 200 more than the Lotus Elise on which it's based. Batteries are heavy.
- pw378, on 07/01/2008, -5/+16Of course when everyone has an electric car, the price of electricity will skyrocket and probably exceed the price of gas... Bio-diesel was $.10 a gallon in 2000, now its around $2.50-3.00/gallon and rising. Lets not even mention the great idea of using corn to produce ethanol for fuel and how its spiraling the price of food up.
Fact 1 - for every increase in demand there will be a corresponding increase in price. Economics are a bitch.
Fact 2 - To produce more electricity, we will require more gas and coal powerplants
Fact 3 - Solar and wind power are nice and friendly, but will never come close to meeting demand
Fact 4 - Nuclear power solves many of the issues of fact 1 & 2, but the hippies will cry and make people feel bad. - apeweek, on 07/01/2008, -0/+11Twomey is using some very disingenuous numbers and incorrect assumptions to say that electric cars are inefficient, and therefore make more pollution, not less. In fact, EVs are far more efficient than gas vehicles.
The fastest way to disprove the 'inefficient' argument is to approach the argument from the other direction, and ask why efficiency matters. It matters because a more efficient car costs less to operate, and would pollute less.
We already know they cost less to operate. An EV uses 1 to 2 cents/mile worth of electricity. It costs 10 times as much, per mile, for gasoline.
Now, proof EVs pollute far less than gas vehicles.

actual study: http://www.energy.ca.gov/papers/CEC-999-1996-015.P ...
"...in a study conducted by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, EVs were significantly cleaner over the course of 100,000 miles than ICE cars. The electricity generation process produces less than 100 pounds of pollutants for EVs compared to 3000 pounds for ICE vehicles." - DaDiggydiggyDOC, on 07/01/2008, -0/+10They surprisingly said that it will be a 4 hours recharge...just don't forget to recharge at night or need to be anywhere in a hurry..if you forget.
- inactive, on 07/01/2008, -2/+124 solves 1, 2, and 3. ***** the hippies.
- Jareth86, on 07/01/2008, -2/+12About god damn time.
