I'm going to buy an electric car once I can afford one, and I'll be able to because I don't need my car to do everything.

Currently I drive a 2 seat convertible that really only makes trips from home to work and back. I don't need it to haul stuff, or have a 400 mile range, or drive over nonsense, or seat 5 people because I have another vehicle that does all that stuff. It will be easily replaced by an electric car, and the only difference will be my gas bill.

Yeah, they're fantastic initially, but long-term reliability remains to be seen. Elon has claimed that the Consumer Reports revision was based on some of the earliest ones off the line and that the problems have been corrected, but only time will really tell.

The guy has done nothing to make me believe he won't get those problems corrected. Until that time I remain on the wait-and-see train...

2020-2022 is my bet for a truck.

The cash being invested globally into battery tech should yield good progress on range.

Really deceiving shade consumer reports was throwing. It wasn't a secret that they had issues with the motors early on.

Not sure how it went down, wether it was another company building bad motors that drove Tesla to build their own, or if it was them building their own motors and going through growing pains of being a new electric motor manufacturer.

Anyway, they make their own motors now, have a great track record outside the first 25,000 Model S. Great customer service and warranties too.

Consumer Reports dug up old "dirt" on a startup who absorbed the costs of their mistakes to benefit the customer. I'm still trying to figure out who paid them to wield the ink hatchet on that one. Maybe it was a group pot and they all put in.

Anyway, b/c of hiccups like this, the company is now 80% vertically integrated, learn fast, move fast and aren't afraid to innovate. Love the entire company and what it stand for. America should've let the rest of the auto industry die. They haven't innovated in years and have never seemed particularly eager to. If they don't contribute back to society and progress, what good are they?

The real turning point will be when they can break into the fleet car market. Saw an article recently claiming electric cars might be cheaper than ICE within 6 years.

If that were to happen, I could see fleets going electric pretty quickly, especially electrical contractors. Combined with solar, it'd just make too much sense.

I was just at the Walmart at 151st and Metcalf and I parked way out. For the first time I saw a lady in a volt charging at one of those kcpl chargers.

I shopped for twenty to 30 mins and she was still there when I walked out. That can't be fun. I wondered how you pay. It was just a couple stalls over so I took a look and it's no charge. Covered by Wal Mart

As far as Tesla, I imagine these will be used as the daily commute vehicle and most families will take the gas minivan or SUV for road trips so hopefully it won't add up too bad.

In Los Angeles, I rarely, if ever, get more than 215 miles out of a filled gas tank, so I don't really see a problem with the range.

As far as charging stations, they're freaking everywhere, or so it seems.

You won't have to wait for Tesla. They are leading the industry, and every manufacturer is going to follow suit.

There is absolutely going to be a flatbed version of this technology in the next ten years. I mean... it has 100% of torque instantly available. How can that possibly not be something of value?

And you don't need a 400 mile range. When the hell do you drive 400 miles without stopping with your gas engine?
