I can assure you that it will be made of metal. =)
“...that indirectly uses electricity generated by the same old energy sources is not what America needs at this time.”
Since we don't make electricity from oil in this country, electric cars have the potential to reduce our consumption of Jihad Juice by 90%.
Time for Republicans to cut off the Fed. tax credit for electric vehicle’s. If these things are such great shakes it’s more than time for the manufactures to stand on their own two feet, especially true for Tesla.

To be socially acceptable to the masses of greenies, they must be made of recycled 2 liter plastic bottles and aluminium drink cans. (: More of the former and less of the latter to reduce the weight.

Our electricity is generated from nuclear and conventional natural gas/coal fired, and wind generators in our area. A good deal of the energy generated is wasted in the distribution process. Electric cars and batteries just add another wasteful link in the distribution of that energy. Vehicles powered by petroleum products will be around for a while longer based on their scientific and economic merits unless outlawed by the EPA and legislation. Nevertheless, we can still produce a lot of plastics and other synthetics from our oil.
I'm not anti-electric cars but they are not a must-have for me at this time. As long as social engineering attempts to influence the laws of science and economics in their favour, there will be people who believe them to be a solution to a non-existent problem.

See, there is your fallacy: You assume the only way to reduce dependence on foreign oil is by these contraptions, when the truth is we already have enough of our own oil but the EPA keeps us from it.
Since the liberal Luddites don’t want us driving anything for any reason they will attack electric cars all the same.
They already have attacked coal so much that a few years ago coal represented 51% of electric output but is now down to 40% as they have closed more than 150 coal plants already.
If every American drove an electric car the grid could not possibly handle the load. As it is Kali suffers from black and brown outs due to electricity shortages. Colorado has brown outs. Many places already do.
