That is huge for Tesla and should help bring the cost of their cars down.

Isn’t Tesla a rock band from the 80’s?

No actually Nikola Tesla was a famous inventor/scientist/electrical enginner. No surprise that escaped your ignorant ass.

Oh, and HRR, you are right. Tesla was a rock band in the ’80s. And they got their name from Nikola Tesla, and old Serbian scientist that developed the Tesla coil technology, founded AC current technology, created numerous advances in electromagnetism, and many other cool electrical stuff. I believe he even felt he could control the weather with the right electrical power. We was a very amazing scientist, and a lot of what we do now is attributed to him.

Corvette, pretty much. I just hope they maintain a decent price, and don’t climb up to the $43,000 equivalent offered by Hybrid Technologies (LiV-DASH). However, for a city runabout and a short range commuter car, a Smart EV (or ED as they call it) would be perfect in my book.

Who gives a ****. Can you post an article that we actually care about. They came out with a fully functional electric car in 1994, and the government crushed them all. This technology is old.
