@FromaBuick6: Now with more 5.0: The ethanol in E85 is designed to cut NOx pollutants, similar to what MTBE did before, but without fucking up our water supply. It has its plusses and minuses...

@fastactingrelief: Yes, batteries are completely recyclable. For example, Toyota will pay you $200 for your spent Prius batteries. The huge Li-ion ones in a plug-in will go for 10x that.

@electricworry: In Detroit there is no winter; it's all roses and lemonade out there.

@maximum_sarge: Nothing compares to the environmental impact of burning gas in a small inefficient mobile powerplant. Large coal power plants are a lot more efficient and have far more advanced pollution controls, and tend to be away from where people live.

@maximum_sarge: Yeah, if only they had built this thing in a place that had cold weather. If only...

@MR2_FTW: Americans do not buy small cars.

@Moser121: Agreed. We should never invest in new technology because it is more expensive and it will never, ever be better than what we have today and will forever be more expensive.

@rtechie: You're simply looking for things to criticize. Your "special circuit" is simply the standard 240V 40 amp that most houses have running to their washer/dryer or electric range. If that costs $4000 to run, get a new electrician. If you don't own a house, you probably shouldn't be buying a $40k car!

Who cares, aside from some whiny liberal greenies?

See..Mercedes did get something out of owning Chrysler!

@Shadowguitar: get the stripper mazda3 2.0; under 15k new, no unnecessary weight from power windows/locks or AC.

@DLBlast: Energy loss is irrelevant when you're charging from the sun. When fuel is free, efficiency is irrelevant.

The market says Tesla's worth $2 billion; when companies are that valuable obvious stuff like this is already baked into the price.

This is why I don't trust white people. You shouldn't either.

@leavethegun-takethecannoli: Big deal. Who hasn't lived next to a criminal before? I live on a street with like ten sex offenders.

Wow jalopnik, you made the cover of fordvehicles.com!

@IronicalBalls: Pandas have been around for over a million years and have survived everything quite well EXCEPT for mankind.

@Number_Six: Skin color.

I'm not buying anymore american cars because of obama. That means Panoz too.

You missed #1: JOHN COUGAR MELLENCAMP.
