“Most FReepers, had they been around 100 years ago, would have been laughing at the notion of a horseless buggy. Too slow, not much range, no gas stations, uncomfortable, yada yada yada.”
The electric car was invented over 100 years ago, it wasn’t practical then and it still isn’t.

Certainly the tesla electric car is not as good as the internal combustion engine. But a lot of people are buying it. A lot more people are going to buy it. A lot more big companies like GM are investing ever more in the car. The money people believe in the tesla as reflected by its stock price. Consumer reports gave the tesla the best score on a car it has ever to any car bar none.
Its the trend we’re talking about. It may well be that all the metrics don’t work for Tesla right now...but people think the future may be much different.
