So how are we going to increase the electrical production to charge the cars? Obama's killing coal. Nuclear is shunned. Much of the country is in a drought so hydro-electric may be a problem. Solar is losing it's tax credits...

How the heck am I supposed to generate W-2s when you're making references to Space Balls?
Gas is cheap right now. Maybe Tesla should offer a gas powered generator to charge their cars.So how are we going to increase the electrical production to charge the cars? Obama's killing coal.

there is one of these in my neighborhood (older model i think). it took me a while to figure out what it was.they've had my attention for years as did Fisker, who made a prettier Hybrid car, but they won't get my wallet share until they fill those holes. I work from home and rarely drive as it is but I drive between here and the Gulf very regularly and a Tesla just con't get me there yet (Sadly)
the Fisker, for fun

that's the one i saw (at least the body type). it really caught my eye, and the third or fourth time i saw it, i made sure to get close enough to see what it was.

What does it cost to "fill up" an electric car with electricity compared to gas? In other words, what would be my cost per mile driven?

the falcon wing in action .... sweet
when the Karma was selling in Atlanta at Classic Cadillac in Sandy Springs. I went and drooled all over it in person. It was really, really stunning. Best looking sedan I think I've ever seen
I did that with the model X I saw the other day. My wife was driving and I annoyed the hell out of her having her slow down and go behind it so I could see what it was and then spend the next 20 minutes annoying her discussing the Falcon wing doors

There is a calculator on their site for home charges. It is .33kWh per mile. National average is 12 cents per kWh. That means about $4 per 100 miles.
Not sure if Tesla can or will keep this up, but charges at the supercharger "stations" are free.

Cost of electricity to drive the Tesla 23,000 miles: $1,226
Cost of premium gas to drive BMW 7 Series 23,000 miles: $4,951
Money saved on fuel by driving Tesla: $3,724

My cost to operate a Tesla would be almost one-third that as the cost of electricity in my area averages just over $0.06 / kWh.

The plan has been to always keep them free. Many (most?) of them are self sufficient as the roofs are covered in solar panels - they charge batteries that then charge the cars.

My wife wants one of these. I look forward to it.

Anyway, I was over there 3-4 years ago getting my Isuzu looked over for a cross country trip (late model Isuzu's had a weird quirk where you couldn't check the transmission without a special tool only available from the dealership. They were self-contained.) and strolled around the dealership with my mouth agape. The Fisker was better looking than any Jaguar, Porsche, Volvo or BMW on the lot. You're right, it was absolutely stunning.
Century Automotive in Huntsville has/had a pretty wide umbrella. They sold BMW/Volvo/Porsche/Isuzu/Land Rover/Jaguar/Fisker. Isuzu left the US & Fisker, well I don't know exactly what's going on with them, reorganizing?
