I don't want to dog pile on them because Tesla seems like such a promising company, and despite this PR disaster, I hope they pull through to profitability. They're trying to push the technology for electric vehicles forward, and they're going to use the vacated NUMMI plant in Freemont, which is commendable. So I'll cut them some slack. A lot of slack.

- ams6110 16y agoSorry to rain on your parade but battery-only powered electric cars still have too limited a range and take too long to recharge to be practical for most people. They may find a niche with people who can afford to have a separate car for a modest daily commute, but most people don't have the cash to tie up in an extra car just to be "green" (which electric cars aren't, really).
