I agree with you that you are not exactly saving the environment by rollin on Lithium. Heck, you didn't even take into account the environmental damage of mining it in China, talk about an environmental disaster. I think the point of Tesla is more to push the technology of electric cars forward, to a point where someday it reaches a critical mass, or proper economy of scale, to the point where it is efficient. Also, I was strolling around Montreal the other weekend, and saw a Roadster at a red light. Me being the drunken asshole that I am yelled "yo tesla dude, gun it". And let me tell you what, that car takes off like a friggin rocket, but quiet as hell, all you hear is the tires begging for grip. I want one.
