During the 70's gasoline embargo/crisis, we had our 79' Eldorado converted to a dual-fuel system (gasoline/propane). It ran great on the propane, but the notion didn't catch on (although the car is now happily ensconced somewhere in Belize).

Any electrical outlet.

Delivered the first eight at their Beijing showroom last week.

Not to mention that you could take it out of the car and with you.

Tesla base price is $69,000.

Possibly explaining Mr. Megna's interest.

If Tesla chooses Nevada, it makes no sense to go all the way south to Vegas when Reno is so much closer.

Not necessary. Go to Teslamotors.com and design your own car (no obligation). It's fun.

You can buy direct at the Tesla store in...Beijing.

It's about much more than just the proposed 6500 factory jobs. It's also about taking care of the needs of the familities of the 6500…

Certainly gives Nevada a bit of an edge.

Perhaps if the finger in question was electrically powered....

Or you could have bought the base model for $69,000, applied the $7,500 tax credit, figured on saving a minimum of $12oo/yr in gas, plus maintenance savings, ridiculously lower registration fee for a car of that class in AZ, lower insurance (because safest car on the road) and....

Prefer red?

125,000 car fires/year in the U.S.

Plus, by plugging the trucks in overnight, no time is wasted filling them up...another small saving that quickly accumulates.
