The New Electric Car


I think that it's perfectly acceptable to be an environmentalist and a conservative. It's not like you have to be a hippy, liberal panty-waste to care about our Earth. Unfortunately, those hippy liberal panty-wastes designed the first series of electric cars that would ultimately fail due to lack of range, lack of saving money, and horrible design. Enter Tesla Motors. (www.teslamotors.com) Perhaps they will do a little better establishing the technology since they have an awesome sense of style to go with it.


Although, it looks and sounds amazing, I'm afraid that the price tag is still too outrageous. Most people who can afford such an expensive ride do not care about gas bills. (Nor the environment unless a camera is pointed at them.)

I'm afraid that this latest attempt at Earth-friendly transportation will go the route of the De Lorean. We can only hope that if it achieves some degree of success that more reasonably priced similar vehicles are produced.
