Lee,

I am worried about this, and I think you should be too:

http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/201...rd-automakers/

In working with Hemmings, The HVA, and our partner groups that are all interested in the preservation of our automotive heritage - these developments are alarming.

Oh by the way lets look at some Tesla facts:


Trips take dramatically longer

You are continually stopping to find a super charger so that means you have to plan your route around the infrastructure on an approved Tesla route which is sketchy.

Right now an 8 hour trip in a Gasoline car on a Tesla approved route that has superchargers - installed takes 12 hours to complete in a Tesla.


Finally that world beating performance that will "Kick the crap out of our cars" drops off as the battery discharges. You hit it once there is your best run. You hit it multiple times your ET drops quickly.


Now just where did I get this info? Directly from a GM engineer up at the tech center in May. They had one plugged in and were studying it so I asked him about it.

Back to topic, from the link above we should be concerned now here in the USA about California and their intentions concerning the Internal Combustion Engine.
