My suggestion to freerepublic readers. Don’t treat Tesla like other junk electric/hybrid car companies out there. Read up on Tesla. They’re going in the right direction
My objection is not to their build quality. It’s obviously high if those ratings are real. It’s that fact that a $62,000 plus car that only goes 200 miles and then must be charged FOR HOURS is not practical for much of the driving we do in this country. When a Tesla can approach the range that a Ford Pinto or Chevrolet Vega can achieve and get the price down to what other brands charge, then I’ll reconsider.
