Why all the hostility towards this car? I see nothing wrong with advancing technology forward.

...

I suppose that’s the downside to conservatism. There is some downright hostility toward innovation, whether it’s technology or new economic markets. I’ve been seeing it for nearly 20 years here on FR.

I remember when Amazon was just a book seller, had no future, and certainly couldn’t justify its stock price.

I have no problem advancing technology forward.... that is a good thing. What I do dislike is the hypocrisy of the environmental benefit claims.

I kind of liken it to the enviro-whackos spouting praises for the wind turbine generators, while millions of birds are getting whacked out of the sky.

Electric cars manufactures have been trying to get their act together for 100 years. I think if it was going to work it would be perfected by now.

A lot of it not so much an electric car (which obviously will be part of the future), but that the idea is being shoved down our throats.

If they come up with a good one in the near future at a decent price, I'm certainly interested. I just don't like being told I'm wrecking the earth if I don't buy one.
