Not 100% true. The "rapid recharge" doesn't fully charge them. Only about 80%. That's about 30 minutes too. And the claimed 400-500 miles range is bogus too. More 300-400 in weather that doesn't require the heater to run and only requires the AC to run at a minimum. Get into warm weather or cold it severely cuts performance and range.

EV's accounted for about 330,000 new cars in the US last year. The hangup is the batteries. Right now about the only new thing is battery technology is using sulfur in place of lithium. No performance difference. Just that sulfur is cheaper.

Last year they sold just over 17 million new cars in the US.

To really put it into perspective they claim that there are 265 million or so vehicles in the US with 1.3 million being electric.

Now as far as cost? The price Tesla claims is at the end of 6 years deducting what they claim will be a 10,000 dollar savings in gas. So add 10K to that 32,500. That's what it will cost bare bones to get it in your driveway. Oh, by the way. Tesla isn't allowed to make those claims in some countries with higher gas prices than the us cause the countries claim that a driver won't save 10 K in gas.

In other words don't believe the hype! IMO Musk is nothing more than a con artist.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana. ... [Read Article]
