Tesla Model S "Will Be Faster Than A Porsche 911"

Nice car, but how about a TRUCK!

Telsa is the only maker I see that seems to know what they are doing. They are the maker to back ;IF our fearless leaders fell they just have to back someone.

I used to race Slot Cars as a teen. I Knew this day was comming.

do u think the cost will come down soon ?

Nice, it's getting better everyday...

sparks.

Put me down for one, besides I always keep a box of 9 volts just in case it runs low..... My orher one uses too many D size.....

The 130 MPH speed is because of a limiter without it it can easily go over 200...the faster you go the less distance you can go.When Tesla begins using Thorium (and it will)...that will be the beginning of the end for internal combustion engines.

As long as they can only make 5 per month, the theory of $upply and demand will rule.

The electric car will cost $50,000 with Federal and State tax breaks it could be as cheap as $38,000. It will cost $5.00 to travel 200 miles. Much cheaper than gasoline. Remember, oil must be brought up from the desert in the Middle East, pumped to a port via a pipeline. Loaded on a ship, then transported via diesel to Texas or California, where it is refined into gasoline, then put on trucks and driven across the country to various gas stations. It is highly inefficient compared to producing electricity.

We are now at the commencement of a 5 year development for all the accoutrements that will make this technology viable in the long term....Lots of dollars still need to be spent with little return..

they should partner with ford and create super cars for america! american made by americans.

love it now install the recharge stations across the us

How long do the batteries on electric cars last before requiring replacement and what is the cost of that replacement? Anyone have a cost est.?

American innovation at work!!!! Yes they are expensive, but I remember when Monroe Calculators sold a hand held calculator that would add, subtract, multiply and divide for $69.95. No memory or anything else just those four functions. Thir price came down over time as will the prices of these cars. You can bet that the management is focusing R & D toward a affordable family vehicle.

How does an electric car travel faster than a Porsche. Physics. An electric motor is far more efficient than an internal combustion engine. Modern electric motors are 85% to 95% efficient. As opposed to gasoline powered internal combustion engines that are 60%-65% efficient. For every gallon of gas you put into your car. Nearly 40% of the gas does not make the car go forward. It is lost due to heat, friction and exhaust. So say you spent $3.50 a gallon for gas. You lose $1.70 on every gallon you use. That's why electric cars make sense.

Gas and Crude are not only the fuel that drives electric turbines to produce electricity used to charge electric cars. You fail to mention wind, hydro, geothermal , and perhaps solar . You want to help the economy and the environment? Stop importing oil and gas. The oil companies will do everything to protect their interest and will spend billions of $ for disinformation campaign against alternative energy.

Everyone want to rush in and call someone a HERO now days but Mr. Tesla was one!!! This newer Tesla company deserves the highest recognition from our President because they are battling an up-hill battle, that they will eventually win!!! Everyone is searching for Terrorists that are trying to destroy the U. S. but as far as they need to look is too the oil & fossil fuel corps!!!! America is being held hostage and will be until small companies like Tesla Motors gamble everything to fight these corps and big OIL!!! The U. S. should stop all tax incentives and Gov., giveaway programs to the entire Big Oil industry!! We could have and should be riding around in vehicles like we saw on the Jetson's cartoons, this is possible, now!!! I ask you all to PLEASE support small U. S. companies who are attempting to re-engineer America and the wasteful way we think!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks you Mr. Tesla... I suggest you read about the way Mr. tesla was screwed out of his free energy methods and the book "The Committee of 300." This reading will open your minds to how thing really are and who controls the World!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is NOT a US car! It's from Finland! Where do all the rare earth minerals come from that are an integral part of the batteries of ALL "electric" or "hybrid" cars - China! And they have just placed a ban on importing any to the USA and a lot of other countries! What will happen in case of an accident? Instead of the fire dept. responding - HAZMAT will have to respond to EVERY accident due to the hazardous materials in the batteries!! The warning on a regular pkg of batteries about not disposing into the trash or landfill will be applicable to these and every "electric" car. What are we going to do with the batteries once they go bad? Where will they go - because they are VERY toxic for not just years. but for centuries! CA was experimenting with hydrogen cars and even converting gas stations to also have hydrogen for these cars. All it takes to convert a gas station is a compressor on the roof. - very cheap! What is the byproduct of hydrogen?? Water! Non-contaminated water! Nothing to contaminate landfills - nothing to import - no hazardous materials to dispose of or that pollutes the air or land. Yet no one (in our govt) is talking about it - bacause like good old Al Gore, they have invested heavily in the "electric" idea - so no info is being leaked to us about all the bad stuff - and there's a lot!!

How the hell does that car seat seven? It's like a dam clown car
