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.

------------------------------------
New Technology? there were about 20 electric car companies in 1920.
Got
30-50 miles on a charge then. How about supporting a $2000 electric
car?

Yes, new technology. Compare the Tesla to those built in 1920 and get
back with me.

I couldn't find any reports about any of the 1920's cars bricking. Telsa
must be on the cutting edge of car bricking. How much you gots invested?

Oh, so the 1920's cars didn't have any problems?
------------------------------------------
Probably less problems. Was a lot simpler car. And most trips were short
enough for a battery powered vehicle. Problem was the Model T was 1/3 the
price.

So... if the model T was a third of the price, and in today's dollars
the model T would be $14,000, that would mean that a very crudely built
electric car would be $42,000. Being how the Tesla is an engineering
marvel that gets a good distance at a staggering pace, it's not so bad
priced, eh?
