“It’s the first electric car to win Motor Trend’s Car of the Year; an unprecedented 99 out of 100 rating from Consumer Reports; and now, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it’s also the safest car ever.”

Ever?? Wow! So if I hit that street-legal golf cart head-on with my F150, the passenger inside will still be OK?

I think we should allow direct sales for hobby companies like Tesla.

A full-size late-model Dodge pickup truck hit my 29 year old Mercedes sedan from behind a few months ago. Who do you think came out better?

I’m not big on the styling, but the Tesla is not a golf cart by any stretch.

If you're talking about the Tesla Model S (the sedan), you're talking about a full-size car weighing in at just under 5,000 lbs, very close to the weight of an F-150. It's not exactly a golf cart.

"Street-legal golf cart"???

Spend five minutes watching How the Tesla Model S is Made -- Behind The Scenes. It will change your mind. This is a real automobile manufacture with the most advanced technologies.
