Tesla Model 3
 
This is REALLY interesting. It's something I might genuinely be interested in. A fun, good looking, useful electric car (high tech stuff), and my old Vette for thundering.

I would buy the shit out of one if it had the range to get me to work (+15-20 miles) because my work has chargers.

I think a 35,000 electric car is a good idea, I love the volt and would pick one up if it had a 60-70 mile electric range

Same as the S on the full pack option, about 300 miles, ALL electric.

And you gave me shit about where I would fill up my diesel on a long trip.

I think its a good idea, but the fact that those cars do not come with a little generator is absurd. I understand that it would hurt their gas free product image, but really? Stick a little super efficient quiet 1 hp Honda generator under the spare trunk location and let the damn thing charge itself so you can make it to Vegas. Doesnt HAVE to be a hybrid.

I don't recall giving you shit about diesel, but if I did, you probably deserved it.

Elon Musk does not fuck around. He's building infrastructure in addition to having radically more mileage capacity than any other all electric. He's striding into the future.

Shit, why not just store a damn generator in the front trunk?

If you wanna role redneck, no one would stop you.

To bad that little generator would put out nowhere near enough power to drive the car. the model S uses 38 kWh per 100 miles

It would. You'd just have to stop . . for a couple days . . .

With the advances in solar power buying an electric car is a really attractive concept. Many places will let you charde for free now. Imagine no fuel charges. That woulda me this a really attractive fiscal choice. However, the model S 85 got hot in a third on a lap at the ring. it would be far from a fun car. I honestly would buy an electric self driving car.
