I gotta say, I love everything Tesla, but I also have a very close family friend who has sold my family several cars over the last 20 years. He's a very nice man, he sends us birthday cards every year and treats all of his previous customers, probably thousands, in the same, caring way. I read a post below from a

It's a pretty well known fact that Jalopnik has presented both negative and positive articles about Tesla. In fact, they've even stated (at least I remember reading it) that they've weighed in on Tesla with a heavy amount of skepticism but that the product and the company's success has proven them wrong.

Yea Matt what's up with that? C'mon man, you should know George Blankenship, Tesla VP of Store Design, formally of Gap and Apple. Your title is like saying Fisker ripped off Aston Martin.

No, it is not inconvenient. . . because Tesla will come to your house and service your car. If they need to take it in for service they'll drop off a loaner. You can't ask for more convenience than that. Then again the car could wipe your ass for you. That would be cool.

There were around 2,000 EV1's sold during its production. Tesla has already sold around 15,000 Model S's, 2,000 roadsters and they have reservations for as many if not more Model X's. The entry-level model hasn't even been announced yet. They are not going anywhere. And realistically, people who drive long

Maybe for you. . . there are plenty of threads on the Tesla forums with people taking long multi-state trips. .

Except for it looks much different than a focus. Taillights, way different. License plate area, way different. Slope of the rear hatch, way different. But yes, it's a hatchback, has four wheels, similar window line and similar reflector locations (as required by law). Oh yea and it's a hatchback.

I was a Valet and then a Valet manager (basically the guy that takes your money and tells the drivers what to do) in Philly for many years. I loved the job for many reasons but I'll never forget my last night working. My boss decided to hire some kid with no license. 1 hour into the crazy busy shift, he comes

By your logic, we all live inside giant c02 emitting machines disguised as houses. . .

Yet 3 other companies on the list don't sell cars in America.

Horrible list IMO. What about Suzuki, GMC, Buick, Volvo, Acura, and Chrysler?

When you say it that way it makes sense.

I'm confused. . . so just because the artist wanted to document the ruin remaining from one of the worst storms in history to hit one of the most culturally rich places in the US, you tell him to change his lifestyle because he doesn't appreciate reality? He probably walked away from you because you don't appreciate

It's electric, duh!!! What do you live under a rock?

If you don't want people to take pictures of you, it's probably not wise to drive around in sports cars wrapped in chrome and leopard print.

Whaaaat? It was Beetle powered? I'm going to crawl under my desk and cry for an hour.

You weren't there. You don't know how many bikers have gotten away from this cop or others in his department. The biker clearly broke the law and the cop reacted quickly so that the guy couldn't even think of getting away.

It would be one thing if the guy just rear-ended the cop car while both his wheels were planted on the ground. But, no, instead he decides to be a complete moron, showing off to his friends in heavy traffic. He deserved every arm hair he got in his mouth from that cop's chokehold.

. . . . not really, you can tell the train is slowing to a stop...

What exactly are you referring to? If you mean that the feds are "getting in the way" of positive environmental reform by implementing rigorous safety regulations, so be it. Safety of a vehicle created by a bootstrapped startup can be suspect, so I'm all for strict safety testing. But can we get rid of those damn
