I'm not going to hit the hated "X" disagree button because I only partially disagree. I save the red X for really ridiculous comments, which yours is certainly not. I will agree that at least part of the people who buy electric cars are mind numbed tree huggers who think they are saving the planet, and they certainly do love THIER liberal media, and they are certainly ignoring anything that disagrees with their opinions. However a lot of them are not like that. I was at a Sunday morning Cruise in in Rogers Arkansas a few weeks ago on a Sunday morning. It was right next to a Krispy Kreme donut shop. GREAT LOCATION! I was surprised to see about 10 Teslas there all parked side by side. I really like Teslas. I would consider buying one if they weren't so expensive. I got into a very pleasant, long and fact filled discussion with several of the Tesla club members. They told me all about their cars and why they bought them. Most of them did it because they thought they were so darn cool, so fast and so much fun to drive. One guy said, "Watch this." He pulled out his cell phone and literally moved his car around with it. They all agreed that the convenience of using electricity was tainted slightly with cheap gas, but when it goes back up to $4.00 a gallon, the advantage will be greater. They all totally agreed that although the car may not emit any carbon, they knew that the production process and the electricity generation did. I asked how long the batteries lasted, and all of them said that nobody in the club had ever had to replace any batteries, and several cars were well over 100,000 miles with one having over 200,000. Overall, I think that electric cars are truly the future. Regardless of what anybody thinks, I like the idea of plugging a car into an outlet in my garage and being able to drive it in total comfort for several hundred miles.
