So sorry to hear you don't have electricity at your apartment!

So perhaps Tesla is on a trajectory that will parallel that of Apple? ;-)

I hope you figured out by now that the Model X base price was not revealed at the time of the first Signature model deliveries...

Well, my view may be biased by the fact that I are one (license 1P21GW). My other car is a BMW 328i drop top manual (base model), so I’m doubly cursed. The BMW seems like a nostalgia classic now; fun to drive and remember how it used to be. I would replace it with a comparable electric car if one existed. I think of…

The styling of the original Lambo seems more akin to the Chrysler Concorde version of the LH. I owned a Vision Tsi, and it was fabulous apart from being a bit road-noisy and having steering column troubles electrical issues. I drove it 8 years and then got convertible lust and traded it for a Sebring, which was a…

My green Tesla Model S with tan interior was of course ordered that way because I always wanted a Jag in those colors...

165 comments (and counting) and no one is interested in the guts? Like the 800V spec? Or the permanent magnet motors? And there’s the claim that this electric can be tracked indefinitely without power limiting coming on? And that it can be charged 80% in 15 min versus 30 min for a Tesla? Of course, there may not be a…

Or New York, New Jersey, Maryland...

“Mercedes-Benz is working on an electric car with a range of up to 311 miles that could compete with Tesla’s Model S battery-powered vehicle...”

Is this staged or real? Interesting to compare and contrast with the Sandra Bland video... See Rock, “How not to get your ass kicked by the police.”

Ok, how about a Tesla Model S. Great numbers aren’t really the point. It has more to do with using half the energy of a Prius while going like stink in a big 2 tonne car.

There just isn’t anything to compare with a Citroen SM, except of course a DS.

I hope Jalopnik will be careful enough to balance this article with one on the many recipients of government subsidies in the fossil fuel industries.

One word: Spyder! Ok two words: Turbo!

I've heard there is enough energy being used just to *refine* gasoline to power all the cars that are now powered by that gasoline, if they were electric cars. 20% or so of the energy in the gasoline is about all it would take, which is about the refinery energy overhead. Sobering, eh?

I love the term "biblical". You know those guys got around on donkeys, right? Anyhow, are you aware of the use of battery power for large ferries that carry scores of cars across major bodies of water? It might not be so out of the question in the long run...

People buying cars in the $30k range don't always pay enough taxes to benefit from a large *tax credit*. Such an incentive is inherently directed at higher income buyers, and therefore regressive. That said, I did not mind receiving it at all. But we need to do more for folks buying in the range of the Nissan LEAF,…

Is that "GHibli 301 kW" (401 bhp)?

The only way it gets 95 MPGe is when it runs exclusively on electric power gotten from being plugged in. As soon as the gas engine starts up, that's over. When regen braking is important, we may see half that mileage figure.

We got it right: took delivery of the plates last November.
