So is Tesla like the "Apple" of vehicles?

OK, so where is this company that sells1000 FULLY ELECTRIC VEHICLES every 3 days, with better battery technology, and a real computer inside? What, it doesn't exist? Right.

Cuz there's this company called Tesla Motors that has been selling a fully electric vehicle for 3 FUCKING YEARS, while your Ford (LOL) and other dinosaurs have been playing catch-up and are 4-6 years behind the curve.

Look there has been lots of TALK of these electric vehicles, but I'm sure there are more chargers out there than cars, no one wants them and the only reason they still make news is because of wishful thinking, not because there is a market for these limited use things ]]>Jul 11th 2010 7:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/tesla-planting-electric-engines-into-two-toyota-prototype-bodies/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/tesla-planting-electric-engines-into-two-toyota-prototype-bodies/

Only sold one thousand "magical" (your word, no one else's) Tesla Roadsters, so it is a gimmick? That a goofy scale. I guess every car that could be called exotic is a gimmick. I guess that means gimmick isn't a bad thing! There are a lot of exotic... err... gimmick cars out there that have sold less than one thousand of a particular model and we'd do ridiculous things to own one. If you deny this, (Ferd ef150 4-lyfe!!11!1?) you're either lying to yourself or your a nun who's renounced material possessions.]]>Jul 11th 2010 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/tesla-planting-electric-engines-into-two-toyota-prototype-bodies/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/tesla-planting-electric-engines-into-two-toyota-prototype-bodies/This is not a phone website...

Ford prehistoric? Catching up? Ford is one of the best automakers out there. Their designs are getting better and better. You are stuck in the late 80's and early 90's man. No one is playing "catch up" with Toyota or Tesla because Tesla will not go anywhere until there is some kind of breakthrough in battery technology. Manufacturing cars isn't just some fun experiment. Many automakers aren't releasing half-assed electric cars with shit range because there's still oil out there. People buy energy efficient cars to save money, not the environment, that is why mfg's are marketing cars with increased MPG's, not grammes of carbon emitted.

I drive a 2010 honda civic that i bought brand new for 15k that gets 40mpg on my 60mile/day commute, and I would save more money over the next 8 years than you would buying a car from Toyota/Tesla even if they sold it to you for 30k. ]]>Jul 11th 2010 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/tesla-planting-electric-engines-into-two-toyota-prototype-bodies/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/tesla-planting-electric-engines-into-two-toyota-prototype-bodies/nice bite on the joke engadget]]>Jul 11th 2010 11:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/tesla-planting-electric-engines-into-two-toyota-prototype-bodies/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/tesla-planting-electric-engines-into-two-toyota-prototype-bodies/
Ford had to get bailed out by the US goverment right? And they needed to drastically alter their business model, because it was outmoded right? Talk about stuck in the 80's.
Tesla have made breakthroughs already in battery technology, but do you think that if we just sit around and wait, someone is just going to stumble across better battery technology? No, it's the same as with any technology. If we listened to you we'd be perpetually waiting 6 months for "something better" to happen.

The reason Auto makers aren't releasing electric vehicles, is that it takes time to set up an entire infrastucture. One of the shortcuts they can make is licensing Tesla's battery technology, because it's better than anything that they could make without investing a shitload of time and money (which they are probably starting to do now anyway).

And "because there's still oil out there", yeah and it's all in the gulf of Mexico wiseguy. What are you going to do in 8 years time when oil is so scarce they're charging $20 a litre for it? Dip a bucket in the sea? Good luck with your projected cost of oil there.]]>Aug 6th 2010 7:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/tesla-planting-electric-engines-into-two-toyota-prototype-bodies/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/tesla-planting-electric-engines-into-two-toyota-prototype-bodies/
