It's already been touched on elsewhere in this thread, but considering the market affluence of Tesla vehicles, it's equally valid to argue that a solar garage (see: http://www.instablogsimages.com/images/2009/09/18/ex20090910_msKwg_12.jpg http://www.instablogsimages.com/images/2009/09/18/ex20090910...) would provide that same emergency power source for transportation. In fact I would make the case that it's better, because it can be replenished without relying on infrastructure. It's not feasible to secure automobile-grade petrol from your backyard. I suppose that's really the beauty of solar. It has the potential to decentralize energy production.
