Tesla has been the leader of high end pure electric car with the Tesla Roadster. The model S seems to cater for the mass market.

Capable of producing surplus amounts of electricity at no cost, the theory behind this generator has been hotly debated for years and the practical application thwarted by powerful interests! The benefits of this device exist today!

1. I’d pay the same, because technology is supposed to make things cheaper not more expensive.

2. I’d take whichever car makes more sense economically (repairs, warranty, pricing, etc.)

3. No. It’s not the consumer’s responsibility to create demand, that belongs to the creator of the product. That’s like saying buy my product and hopefully in the future we can make it cheaper and better, but we need your money now.

I’ve had it up to here with car companies.

@ Allen, Craig – I agree with you to some extent, but I do think that we can adapt. 100 years ago the primary mode of transportation was horseback, there were no gas stations, and zero paved roads. If we can put a man on the moon, we can put electric converters at people’s dwellings.

@ Scott – good call, missed that originally.

@ Tomas – great link, updated the post pic.

Great blog, I just discovered it and can’t stop reading…

They say this is what the Tesla Model S will look like:

I’d LOVE to have one of those… $60,000 is still quite a bit of cash, but maybe in a few years we can get a used one for a reasonable price (BTW, do you have any articles on new vs used cars? I paid 1/3 for a car that still smells like new…)

1) None. I live in Canda and electrics are not practical here. Once you try A) Running a car on 50% power because batteries suck in teh cold. B) Defrosting windows and C) Heating a Cabin with no waste heat from an engine you realize your 220 miles will be more like 50 miles. SO you will have to be VERY careful where you drive. Oh, and add in teh resistance of trying to drive through snow… 40 miles.

2) No

3) No

I agree with Allen. Right now I live in an apt and would not be able to recharge my car everyday. I think the concept of the electric car is a good idea to help become less dependent on oil, but the reality is we are probably a good 15-20 yrs away from any serious progress in these becoming mainstream. People love their cars and even with an option, most would probably have their reasons to stay with their gas fueled cars. Hybrids are becoming more popular, but by no standards would I call them mainstream. It’s nice to see car companies working on alternative methods, but these concept cars are really more of ideas than realities right now.

FYI, it’s not the Tesla “Sedan S Class” but rather the Model S. It’s right there in press release. The S-Class is a Mercedes, as no doubt you know.
