Re: Stalled Out on Tesla’s Electric Highway
SciFrog:
Logs have been published.
"Obvious violations of common sense" Well I called it before I knew the logs were published.. boy that biased reporter must feel stupid now.. probably not since it's the US... In Europe he would be done. Anyways, all this bashing from various angles towards Tesla and EVs.. do I sense envy in the US now too? Can't charge it at work, don't buy it. Travel long distances, don't buy? Can't operate using common sense, don't buy it. Can't afford it (argument it's too expensive), DON'T BUY IT!
No one is saying this EV thing is now King. Let's keep it real people. I am against EVs in principle, but I love Elon for just going for it and using much of own capital. That is a rare exception these days. He has a vision and he just made it reality. Afteral the Model S did get Car of the Year 2012. I feel like everyone is missing the point...
EVs won't save the world for now, electricity is derived from burning fossil fuels etc.. but someone has to initiate to process of making new technologies cheaper using economies of scale. More units built = more research and reduced costs. Perhaps even leading to new breakthroughs down the road...
I for one enjoy when a Telsa rolls down the road meaning one less car polluting me and reducing my life expectancy. It looks great and performs, something which no other EV has even come to achieve as of yet. Furthermore, Elon Musk is my role model, someone I look up to because of his above achievements and pure drive. That is the American Dream right? Who else is there? Obama, give me a break. Athletes? Woods or Armstrong.. lol nice one.
End of rant. I do appreciate the 3 different Model S that are spotted daily in downtown Vancouver. It fits right in to the Quattroportes, S and E AMGs and various 7ers.
