Tesla Model S -full size electric luxury sedan
$70,000 (before $7,500 tax credit)
250 mile range on a 1.25 hour charge
$600/year service plan - covers just about everything not covered by the warranty.
Mechanic comes to your home. Many 'repairs' are just software updates or can be fixed remotely.
With no gas engine, carburetor, fuel pump, cooling system etc... there is little to go wrong.
Tesla’s Resale Value Guarantee (option) - Tesla will buy back financed cars in months 36-39 at 50% of the base price + 43% of purchased options.
Tesla expects it's 3rd generation car to sell for about $35,000.
How long does it take to recharge? That will be the biggest road block for electric cars that fuel based vehicle will always bet.

He told you how long....And its not the blocker you think. When you come home plug it in, 250 mile range every day. Plug it in at night. Want to go 500 miles? drive 4 hours, stop at a charging station, have a long lunch, and drive another 4 hours.

So 90ish mins.
How can compete with something that less then a minute to refuel?
you libs can never mind your own business...always trying to control other peoples lives on the guise of trying to help them. you libs are such pathetic human beings.
common sense states that as the earths population expands, so does the need for more plantlife...to keep our oxygen levels up.......yet the global warming fascist liberals only want to talk about car/industry exhaust; man created co2,.... and how to tax it
I think a better solution would be significantly lower taxes (or none at all ideally) on green energy. That would motive more people to use those kinds of energy. Heightened taxes on fossil fuels would only get people upset.
I think a better solution would be to start taxing politicians for each word of legislation that they propose in any bill, and cosponsors get taxed the same too.
carter should stay out of politics as well, as any former potus should be doing.
I don't think we will run out of oil, but eventually there will be a shorter supply. The main issue with green energy is the practicality of it. Right now it isn't practical. We have the technology now to run cars and trucks on cleaner, more efficient natural gas. Problem is the lack of locations that you can buy it. It takes a lot of time to build an infrastructure to change a nation. It isn't something that happens over night. We currently have available in this country, enough oil and natural gas to keep us going for decades. I agree we need to explore other options, but we have to be able to survive with what we have in the meantime.
Agreed. (I'm not sure how long we have enough oil for, but there's enough of it in the short term.)

With coal, natural gas and shale we are set for a long time.
