pretty much its like a motorcycle, its a novelty toy at best.

I know we are discussing the TESLA (full electric), but the new Hybrids coming from Japan have the battery and controller pack that weigh under 50lbs with the size of maybe 2 backpacks. The technology has come along way since the GM EV1.

Slap a bumper sticker on it saying, "Clean Energy" and we're good to go.

America's energy situation serves as a pretty effective demonstration that it isn't necessarily good.:shrug:
