Read the thread Sugar - you have brought the Tesla up a dozen times and their claims rebuked by a number of posters.

Claims rebuked? Hardly. However some of what Telsa claims is not always accurately grasped by a public that also so easily *knew* Saddam had WMDs.

Numerous concepts are limiting - starting with three thermodynamic laws.

One fact so often forgotten - there is no replacement for our basic energy sources. Even Telsa is only about doing more with less. Just another attempt to solve a fundamental problem that will remain if we don't address it: ten gallons of gasoline; but less than two gallons does any productive work.

The electric car is not about new energy sources. It is about increasing thermodynamic efficiencies. Even every alternative energy source is about efficiencies that must increase to become viable. Telsa is simply another attempt to improve a part of an 'energy consumption' chain.

Even VCRs could not be sold for less than $20,000. Then the technology was sold to a company that wanted to innovate rather than reap fast profits.

There is no magic bullet in Telsa. But Telsa is part of a multidimensional solution that was all but completely subverted in America for most of the last ten years.

People keep saying electric cars aren't viable, but NO ONE has offered any proof that they aren't. the Tesla is a perfect example of how wrong these people are. Show me any kind of proof that the Tesla isn't everything they claim it to be. I have seen NONE.
