Electric Cars

This post is kind of shitty because I just rushed to throw this junk together. It still has all the relevant info though. I thought this was common knowledge, but I'm starting to wonder if it really is. There is a company called Tesla Motors based out of California who has been making and selling electric cars. I'm not talking about your EV-1 or anything. These are real cars. Super hot real cars. This is the model that is on the roads now, the Tesla Roadster:

  • 244 miles per charge
  • 0-60mph in less than 4 seconds
  • $110k


They have a new model coming out called the Model S. It's base price is $50k and it is a normal everyday coup, but again this one is electric too. Here is a video of the unveiling of this model:



The country seems to think the Chevy Volt is going to be the answer, but that is a hybrid (still pollutes and wastes oil). It will only go 40 miles without needing gas. We still don't know how far it will actually go, we just need to take GM's word for it. By the way GM already had an electric car that the owners loved called the EV-1 that they killed. This was like 10 years ago. Now tell me why they needed to add a gas tank 10 years after they've already demonstrated that gas was unnecessary and that the technology had a market? 

I wonder how different the country would look if the government didn't give a failing giant billions of dollars and handed it over to these people. What if your stimulus package actually went into investments into the future? Why hasn't this car been all over the news? They've been selling the Roadster for over 3 years now. Matt Damon, Will.i.am, and Jay Leno have them among other people. You'd think that if something this amazing existed we would all know about it. 

Cash for clunkers? How about cash for cars that would save our environment and do EXTREME damage to our dependance on oil? This require NO gas.
