I try to roll coal every time a Prius pulls up next to me.

So far, its never had to return to the dealer. Acceleration is amazing. I'm guessing, it's gotta be a 13 second car. Its so quiet inside its strange.

You may never have to replace the brakes. In driving it I got use to letting the motor slow and stop the car.

The Tesla Charging Station take about 20 minutes to charge to 50%, 40 minutes to charge to 80%, and 75 minutes to 100% on the original 85 kWh Model S. Stop have lunch and drive on.

5 minutes to fill up a car with gas and no government subsides.

How is the electrical power being generated that is being sold and/or given away at the Tesla Charging Stations? Highly toxic solar panels or bird-killing windmills being driven by the wings of angels?

I live in the Palm Springs area of SoCal, about 85 percent of the older homes, schools and government buildings have solar panels, new construction are mandated to include them in the price and the west end valley has over a thousand windmills and more being constructed. The fact that cadmium can be washed out of solar modules by rainwater is increasingly a concern but in my area, rainfall is less than 5 inches per year with almost no humidity. The internal combustion engine will go the way of the horse and buggy, the big three are already moving in that direction. The EPA is already taking steps to in Washington state and California with recycling programs to protect the environment.

I have a 28 gallon on my truck, takes more than 5 min to fill it up and I have never had a NASCAR team come out and fill my tank. Oil Change International estimates United States fossil fuel exploration and production subsidies at $20.5 billion annually. At least, if you buy an EVA the state and Feds pays you via tax break.

I'm sitting here reading this and just shaking my head in disgust.....
I think that I sent you a PM about what goes into the thought process behind stuff like this.
Does this qualify as delusion, ignorance or stupidity?

I think that this afternoon I'll go dump some waste oil in my well.
