Default Re: Checkout what I drove today: A Tesla Roadster.

I drive a Porsche Carrera....a total gas hog. It doesn't have the acceleration of a Tesla...probably not the sophistication either. But I can drive it as far as I want. Having said that, I do believe that the days of the internal combustion gasoline engine are numbered. The Tesla is the first shot across the bow of the uber fast electric car. In ten years, fast and capable alternative fuel cars (by then probably just called "cars") will be common.
I also drive a diesel Jetta and just did a 1000 km trip on a tank of fuel....cost 50 bucks...probably 35 USD. (I just calculated that it would cost about 200 to 250 bucks to drive from LA to NYC.) BTW, that is the distance from Vancouver to Yreka California.
I like both cars equally.
