Model S runs on American natural gas, coal, nuclear, solar, hydro,and wind electricity whose price is determined by American supply and demand.

I'm interested in the coal and hydro that powers your Model S....

Do you have to start the coal fire yourself? and do u have to drive close to a river to use the hydro feature??

Do you have to start the coal fire yourself?

Yes he does. Exactly the way you do every time you flick on a light switch.
