Checkout what I drove today: A Tesla Roadster.

Did you consider that most people that can afford 6 figures for a car are going to live more than 20 miles from their place of business? Perhaps they might want to run some errands at lunch, after work, maybe meet some friends in the next town over for dinner, perhaps go golfing in the countryside? average commute isn't a very good indicator of usefulness for the target market.

So rather than tossing up icons and insults, how about actually discussing the topic at hand?

Alex, I think that everything that EJ has said so far is right. It's your facts that seem a little off.

Anyway, you're missing the point. Even if the numbers aren't dead-on, so what? Imagine if this were a $50,000 car instead of a $100k car. What do you get for $50k?

- 288 Mile Range
- High Tech
- Light Weight
- No gas to buy, ever.
- No pollution
- No Oil to change.
- Much fewer parts to break down (2 electric motors, a computer, batteries)
- Super-silent drive (no silly freakin' noise pollution)
- High tech, high tech, high tech
- Sick speed
- Slick looks

Trust me, I hear your arguments against it. I've owned 11 cars including my current 2010 426 Horsepower Camaro, which I loved up until I drove the Tesla. Now to me, all Gas cars seem so ... old! I'll be selling my Camaro near the end of the summer and hope to buy an electric next spring. Seriously... !
