I test drove a Tesla, it’s really surprised me how well the car drove, the acceleration was quite impressive. Plus a full charge which goes around 300 miles costs only about 10 dollars in electricity.

Have you seen the Tesla vs Aston Martin Rapide drag race? Most people simply cannot fathom the concept that an electric car is beating a 12 cylinder conventional car -- electric cars in the past have been so disappointing -- but the technology in the Tesla is very interesting.
- FREE charge at any Tesla SuperStation (does any car manufacturer offer FREE gas?)
- Battery swap planned for some locations in under 90 seconds.
- Standard range 260+ miles on a single charge. The actual record (depending on how the car is driven, terrain, etc) is over 400 miles.
- With the added bonus that it can beat an Aston Martin and is cheaper than it.
- Made in the USA.
- American ingenuity, American capitalism at its best.
Actually, I've decided to lay of the Tesla lists due to the massive misinformation. That's cool that others think the Tesla is worse than a Yugo or that Elon Musk is pulling a fast one -- means I've got less competition for my spot in the charging station.

I’ve also heard the Tesla has impressive acceleration and it looks goood too, but I’m amazed they are touting 300 miles on one charge.
Everything I’ve read about electric cars says the sticking point is the distance on one charge with around 200 miles being the point of more widespread acceptance. But no other car maker has reached that 200 mile per charge yet. If true, Tesla has made a breakthrough.
