For this kind of hype, I’m not going to be impressed with anything less than 100 mpg.

Then the EPA can cause electricity to sky rocket so we can get nailed in the wallet when we plug one of these suckers in the wall...

Are these idiots going to stop the electrical plant expansion that’s needed to fuel a nation with electric cars?? Maybe the wind will take care of it?

I wish these people would just go away!

U.S. EPA to Discuss Major Fuel Efficiency Announcement at Tesla HQ...

Why do I suspect I'm about to help subsidize another struggling business model?

Maybe a monument to the potency of man's mind. Can't wait until 2013 when all the companies that Went Galt come out of the woodwork and start R and D again. . .

Follow the money....

I'm sure that Tesla (or some "individual" or "501" non-profit front group) donates HEAVILY to Democrats, and they get the taxpayer funds funneled to them to subsidize their un-economic, un-wanted, non-competitive product.

Subsidies to "green projects" and "alternative energy" ALWAYS are un-economic, un-reliable, un-wanted, etc., but can only fill the pockets of major donors via MANDATED/FORCED taxpayer funds that are sent to them (sorta along the lines of Obama Motors, etc.)

So, how many miles per pound of coal does this new-fangled electric car get?

“a goal of driving down the cost of electric vehicles”

Cost isn’t the biggest problem. The range is. Let’s see if that problem can be solved (not likely).
