I drove one of the London electric Smarts, actually. Hopefully the Tesla battery tech will improve the range, cos that was a bit lacking - everything else was very neat.]]>Jan 14th 2009 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/Jan 14th 2009 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/Jan 14th 2009 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/
Is the best Canadians can hope for a hybrid electric-gas vehicle?]]>Jan 14th 2009 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/Jan 14th 2009 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/
No but seriously guys... Grow up. You're welcome to your opinion, but try to keep it clean, k?
If you can't get your point across without swearing and calling people dickwads, or by making blanket statements about an ENTIRE COUNTRY then you're not doing a very good job of convincing people of your point and in the end, you just end up sounding like a little kid that thinks he's all grown up because he swears a lot and thinks he's clever.]]>Jan 14th 2009 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/Jan 14th 2009 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/This car is pretty nifty. Electric cars would be the way to go, but there arent enough clean power plants to go around that would make using them better than gas (not that gas is much better//America needs more Nuclear power plants IMO).

Secondly, Americas got WAY too many fat people and assholes, but there are a redeeming few and not everyones terrible. I agree with the UK folks point of view for the most part, though stereotypings a bit lame. Cup o' tea and a C**t anyone?

America for the win.

Europe for the Championship.]]>Jan 14th 2009 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/At least no one is trying to develop an electric Renault. Now THERE would be the death of the electric car.

I would buy an electric Smart car if they were sold here! I love that battery powered Elise, I mean Tesla, but I just don't have $100,000 lying around to buy one. ]]>Jan 14th 2009 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/
RE: madmike and other trigger happy pre-teens perusing engadget - For the record, gun ownership laws vary from state to state, and at least in my state (Virginia - sic semper tyrannis!) there is no licencing required to own a gun, simply a $50 fee and a gun handling course completion to carry a concealed weapon. Otherwise, it's an open carry state where almost anyone can own and handle a gun.

great looking car... for 4-year-olds

And the car looks pretty decent, always has. Maybe there aren't too many people brave enough to drive something like that, but that's their problem, not the car's.]]>Jan 14th 2009 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/
Bad enough to buy a minuscule car, but to admit to "ED?"]]>Jan 14th 2009 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/http://www.colinmeeks.com/2008/12/automobile-bailout-an-excuse-to-move-forward/

Be interesting to see what other partnerships Tesla develops over the coming year.

These little city cars are for people who just need a vehicle to get back and forth to work, a quick trip to the grocery store or the mall once in a while. And how often do people really shred their tires?]]>Jan 14th 2009 8:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/daimler-taps-teslas-battery-know-how-for-electric-smart/]]>Jan 14th 2009 11:01PM
