How much is it? I want one.

But it doesn't use fossil fuel, how could you possibly drive one? Also,
it's new technology, and in conservative's minds, that's a bad thing.

Way ahead of you Bozo. I have 2 electric vehicles already.

Where does the electricity come from?

45% of the electricity generated in the US comes from fossil fuels.

Yes, but the point you hard core righties fail to understand is that the
equivalent fuel mileage is around 100 miles per gallon. If we get off of
our asses and build more non fossil fuel electric infrastructure that
number will go down. But stupid people are just too afraid of getting
off of fossil fuel.

No fossil fuel? Where is most of the electricity generate from?

I never heard the right wing say say it won't work and but I have
heard don't spend taxpayers money trying to pick winners and losers,
let the free market figure it out.

Quote from article, "Model S prices range all the way from $57,400 to
$105,400 before state and federal incentives."

And why do I want to help someone with my tax money so they can buy a
cat that costs $75,000.

I doubt very few electric vehicles don't use fossil fuel, the electric
grid of this country uses a lot of coal and natural gas. Did you think
all the Tesla owners had solar collectors.

Have you looked at the havoc caused by mining of chemicals used to make
the batteries for electric cars?

I have an electric gokart that I built about 3 years ago.
Here's the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MKjbXltAew&feature=plcp
I have since bought bigger better batteries and put on a new motor.
It will now go about 40 MPH.

You misspelled a word. Cat should be paperweight.

Ok, it should say,
"And why do I want to help someone with my tax money so they can buy
a car that costs $75,000."
Thank goodness for the find function, I didn't know what you were
referencing.

The fiscal conservatives are saying why is the government throwing money at
a car only the rich can afford? If you want to crank up the electric car
market, look at subsidies for ZAP and other cheap around town cars. Not one
where the average purchaser has a $250,000 Adjusted Gross Income.

Again, as with all new technology, at first, it's expensive.

How expensive? Can an ordinary middle class citizen afford one? Or is it
only for the uber rich?

It's not fair that the rich are expeced to be the ones that have be the
guinea pigs for new technology.

It's not for the uber rich but they are pricey. What is your point? I
guess if you have to ask those types of questions you have no idea how
technology R&D works.

I asked how much they cost. You no understand English?
I'll ask again; How much pricy are you talking about?
