oil companies really don't have a choice these days...

tesla has an all electric car out now that will go 300 miles on a charge. tell me that is not practical for a commuter car?! who drives more than 300 miles round trip for an average commute to the office and back...

and its not a tiny car either...




base price is $52,000 though, and base model will not do 300 mile range...need the upgraded battery option for the 300 mile range.

its no slow poke car either... 0-60mph in 5.6 seconds. top speed 125mph

 

Now 300 miles on a single charge is worth the price to me. Not 30 miles.

And it's not ugly like that VW.

 

bet its easy to speed in that bastard because it is pretty much dead silent...no engine noise because there is no engine! just electric motors

 

My Policy Director has a Nissan Leaf. I kind of laughed the first time I got in and we drove to the Capitol. But it runs well and gets about 80 miles per charge I think. She lives about 3 miles from the office and the Capitol is within about 6 or 7 miles. For her it works. Just strange that it is SO bloody quiet!

 

80 miles wouldn't be enough for me lol. 300 would though...if I could afford that tesla, believe me, I would buy it in a heartbeat!

that thing spares no luxury. it is a high end luxury car with more options than a bmw has lol.


including 17" touch screen in the dash built in internet radio with downloadable apps! its basically a giant smart phone built into the dash.

its a Tesla Model S for you rich bastards interested...

 

And the 300 mile range will only set you back $87,000. Plus tax and crap!

 

no, 72,400...

you were looking at the performance model lol...

the performance model that will do 0-60 in 4.4 seconds is the $87,500 model...

they use the same battery though... 85kWh battery

 

72,000, meh, for that much might as well get the performance one. Either way, not worth it imo.

 

I'll just cruise next to the driver in my 76 and blow my un-catted, big-block exhaust into their windows.
