Did I say that? Of course it's not but it isn't a car for the "1%" either. There are a lot of cars in that $50,000 territory. The 7 Series is $20,000 more and that's not the top of the range.

Funny. The right being concerned it inot being a car for the proletariat. Expensive cars are always rewards for the capitalists.

LOL! But where's the 28" spinners?

I once saw a bar in Las Vegas that had shopping cart parking outside, no kidding.

He was absolutely correct. The govt role should be limited to research, NOT taking money from the rich and giving it to Elon Musk..

That quote from your "hit piece" is the kind of reform we are NOT likely see for 4 more years. And as a result -- America will slip further into irrelevence in the global economy..

No dubs, but the other tricks be illin B.

Can I get a whoopty-whoop?

If Romney would have said he was giving this stuff out I would have voted for the brother.

Romney was correct in your opinion. Others disagree. And are you saying that Tesla engaged in no research while developing their vehicles?

Or are you saying that private industry should have to wait for the Defense Department or some university to research and develop new technologies before getting on the bandwagon?

A hit piece? Yeah, Forbes is just some commie rag, totally in Obama's pocket.

And, of course, my post was actually a refutation of your statement that Romney never focused on Tesla. In fact, on more than one occasion, he made them the symbol of his campaign against Obama's support for alternative energy.
