Tthat's right, goddamnit, I want my Minis small and my F-250s big!

"But the remorse, at least, may be largely fictional."

By no means am I making the argument that EV sales are on par with the Model T's. I'm not even looking at those numbers in terms of volume, really, but more in terms of percent increase year to year. If anything, I think the Model T numbers clearly show the emergence of a generational phenomenon... which is not at all

Neutral. Is 280,000 pretty good or pretty awful? Are those the only choices? I think the more important question is, does it continue to grow substantially?

Ultimately, Obama can't take credit for the growth of the EV market which means he's also not responsible for missing the bullshit estimate he and his administration pulled straight out of their public-sector-lifer asses.

It pains me to say but, in real world driving, where most folks don't exceed 85 mph, there's not much faster... but more importantly, there's nothing easier to drive fast so consistently. Zero skill required to launch a Tesla and it will win most street races on that fact alone.

I live in that world and what you say is too often true.

I'm really surprised, but glad, they did. Who'da thunk they'd build a 500 hp flat plane crank motor? But I think the jury is still out.. .will this thing actually compete with the Z28 on a track.

4x4 is standard on the trailhawk, right?

"It should cost at least $250,000 just to keep that much power from falling into the wrong hands, but it doesn't because freedom."

"...though some of the difference may be in greed."

It doesn't matter what he said 4 years ago. No one cares that there is no reason, logic or just plain honesty in politics anymore (ever?). All it takes to satisfy his backers is to hear the en vogue rhetoric faithfully regurgitated with no concern or requirement for actual results. Next year, there will be no

The trap speed always tells the story. In this particular case, the Vette's simply out-motored the Viper.

11.68 at 114 mph. Wow. I don't think I've ever seen a street car run an 11 second 1/4 but trap under 120... That's an insane 60' time. No question, these Tesla gets out of the hole pretty amazingly. I understand the electric motors have all the torque at zero RPM but you still have to put the power down so its weight,

Race fuel means nothing if the computer isn't tuned to dial in a little more timing. On a stock tune, all it's doing is negating the effects of any heat soak, keeping the motor safe from knock which keeps the knock sensors from dialing back timing.

Actually, it is surprising to me that the Hellcat ran 17 second quarter mile. With that time, I could have beat him in every car I own, including my F250 diesel.

Yes. You are right. The moral thing to do is put it in a box in your attic until it is found by your great grandson who then sells it on future ebay in 75 years time.

Dear god, what the hell is he wearing...

Model S global cumulative sales of through September 2014... 46,948 units. Almost 3 year of sales, let me do some quick math, that's an average of 17,085 per year. Pretty good for a startup and a clear indication they will be selling millions per year in 10 years. Of course they will.
