To keep things in perspective here, keep in mind that the gold standard of self propelled vehicles is still the internal combustion engine.
So, three Teslas passed you doing over 80? So what? My 20 year old Explorer with over 300,000 miles could also pass you doing over 80 should I so choose. Just being able to go fast on a highway doesn't mean much to me. How FAR can it go that fast? That one will be stopping for a 2 hour partial recharge (if he can find one) while I am still headed down the highway doing over 80.
Want to have a coast to coast race between a Tesla and your choice of cars with conventional internal combustion engines? I'll bet the conventional car will beat the Tesla by over a day. Longer in cold or hot weather that would require the use of heater or air conditioner.
How about cost? As I understand it, the Tesla starts out at about $80,000 plus options, taxes, and whatever else they tack onto the price of a car today. How does that compare to the average family sedan that costs less tan half of that? How long do you have to drive that Tesla to come out even between initial cost and fuel cost over the life of the vehicle?
Then there is that whole "green" thing. That has to be the biggest scam that ever came down the road. Use electricity instead of gasoline. So, you move the pollution from your tailpipe to the power plant down the road. How about the difference in cost and environmental impact of the production of electric vehicles? I've heard that those lithium batteries are not exactly easy on the environment. From the lithium mines to the hazardous waste disposal from manufacturing byproducts.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
