Now, if they come up with one that goes from 0-60 mph in less than five seconds, goes 400 miles between charges at a price that I can afford?

They just might get my attention...................

Well, how about 0 - 60 in 3.9 seconds? It's range is only 244 miles but that's pretty respectable.

Or you can up the range to 300 miles if you can settle for 0 - 60 in 5.6 seconds.

I couldn't fine anything on the website about climate control. You have any info? They also said to go to the buy gallery to get a price but had none published. It does look interesting, and pretty fun too.

I believe it is around $80,000.

Saw one on the road about a week ago. Very nice looking car! The sedan looks pretty nice in the pics too.

I've checked that out. Way, way out of my price range. I have a brother who lives in Kansas, 1,400 miles away. Stopping every four hours to charge would be a PITA.

The Mighty BlueStreak shall have to suffice for now. But, I see the technology progressing. If they could just give it that wonderfull V8 growl...........................................

At over 100 grand it has to include AC. There's no technical reason preventing it.

Tesla's still cannot get their reliability issues worked out. Otherwise it would be a nice car. Just not very practical either.

Hadn't heard that, Grumpy. Do you know what sort of problems they are?

The 2 speed gear boxes they used were not all that strong. I think for 2010 they switched to a single speed. Have seen no reports on that yet.
