“Someone still banging the electric car drums?”

Tesla cars are not a joke. I may buy one the next time I purchase. The cost of ownership is far lower than a typical car. Electricity is half the price of gas and there’s almost no maintenance required see you can skip the engine and transmission maintenance.

If Tesla built an all-wheel drive rugged SUV it would fly out the door because having an computer-controlled electric engine at every wheel is a far more elegant solution than a transmission and dual drivetrains.

Ya, they will gobble them up with AWD and what, a 50 mile range with the heat on in -20 weather?

No coal powered cars for me thanks.

but it should be a choice, IDC that they sell them, I do care that tax credits are given to buy them.

Tesla has the SUV, just need a “ruggedized” version.

Tesla pickups are coming.

Yeah, good luck with that. I guess you don’t plan on driving across Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, or Nevada. I have yet to see a charging station except for the one on my way to work that is ALWAYS empty.
