more like a small step into the future: Tesla

It looks very interesting.  Does anyone have an electric car?  Anyone have any opinions on the whole electric thing?

Somehow I feel there will be a lot of overly manly chest pounding on how electric cars are wimpy...or south park smug....

Is it cold in here?:
Electric cars open up options. We can substitute different forms of electricity generation once the fleet is electrified.

The performance is already there. Floorboard a Tesla roadster and you will know this viscerally.

We'll need gasoline backup for a long time.

I like the idea of electric cars, but do question the overall benefit to the environment when you take into account manufacturing and disposal. I have no data either way, unfortunately. There's also the whole thing about producing the electric energy in the first place, though I imagine large power stations are more efficient than small engines.
