tesla model S should be called tesla model 5 gran turismo electric version.

yes that's a better name. looks very jaguar/aston martin too. not bad at all. i'd definitely like to drive one. $50-70k is very reasonable too.

Until they get more reliable batteries or quick charge I don't think I would drive electric. For me a car is having the freedom to go where you want when you want and right now I've been 1 year without my E30 because of my engine and it sucks balls.

Electric cars would seem similar to this situation. You have to calculate where you are going and when you'll be doing it. It won't work for long distance which would mean having another vehicle. All for the price of 50k? No thanks.

It is however a good looking car.

If a car is the epitome of freedom, than an electric car is house arrest with your wife titty fucking your next door neighbor.

will still fail, just like they did 100 years ago, how much tax payer cash-o-la goes into building that thing, then how much are the tax payer funded "incentives" at purchase??? Take all that away and how much would they "really cost" umm yeah not going to stand on its own 2 feet in a non subsidized manner just like all "green energy stuff"

But then you guys know that already dont you ;)
