They are also mostly coal and natural gas powered.
Contrary to popular leftist belief, electric cars are not magically powered by unicorn farts.
For an very expensive car I would think it would have more legroom!
Gull wing doors are so stupid.
No, the editor didn’t miss it but you missed much in the article that you didn’t point out.
I chose that photo to show that the front doors were conventional. I was thinking the gull wing doors were for a two seater. That would make for a very expensive two seater. Not so. The gull wings make for a very expensive four seater and may be one reason why the car is so expensive.
LOL!

Bricks on wheels
Oh indeed it is
True I did not read the article. I was simply interested a quick answer.
Hollywood will make a time travel movie using the Tesla..........
Elon Musk is today’s John DeLorean.
“You put a time machine in a... Tesla?!”
I usually don't get that far down into the article, but for some perverse reason I seem to take glee in the Tesla bashing articles. So I read this one (and it also didn't require linking to some other location).
I don’t understand the claim that the cost of a Tesla battery is $325 per KWH. At that rate, the Tesla battery’s entire lifetime charge is 20 KWH. Last I checked, the price of a KWH of electricity was about thirty cents.
You do know that Tesla has already sold several times more cars than DeLorean? And that what send DeLorean under was a drug sting, not any problems with the business plan?
In California road construction and maintenance is funded through gasoline taxes. Tessa’s drive on roads that they do not pay for.
Electric cars that cost an avg. of 100,000 grand plus that won’t go very far in winter nor summer are not middle class vehicles.
I don’t know what they’re trying to say. The Md S has an 85 kwh battery in it and if the manufacture cost of battery is $325 per kwh that means the cost of the battery alone is close to $28K.
Yeah there was a massive line at the dealership in town for the model 3 pre-order. Line went down the block so people could plop down a grand for one.
The current versions of the model S have 70 or 90 KWH batteries.
Okay, I was looking at I guess an older Md S. I guess the 75D Md X has a 75 kwh battery.
