The Tesla is a great car- but the battery doesn't last long. Its not practical.

Yeah, very cool. I'd still get one, 220 miles on one charge? Good enough for me.

Yes, I saw the Top Gear test- but Top Gear is an entertainment source- you can't get your car news from it.

I don't think electric cars are the way to go. I think they're impractical.

They are practical for 95% of the people living in a city.

$50k for the sedan? Sounds pretty affordable given the performance. The fisker Karma looks like a grinning cat.

I saw the tesla a while back, but the karma looks awesome. Wonder if it comes in a coupe?

the numbers on the tesla are phenomenal, but given where I live and the volume of driving I do it wouldn't make sense - i'd love to move up a little bit in speed, but i already get enough speeding tickets in my G.


I really like the karma....

ouch, despite having almost 100hp and much more torque, the fisker still only produces 0-60 numbers around 5.8 seconds and has a top speed of 125MPH :(

and a 50 mile range!?

it's beautiful, but i don't know if it can even sell with numbers like that

I'd be happy with these numbers ! Even if I agree they're not perfect.

Yes the Karma is from another planet...
But I can't believe they managed to price the Tesla S around $50K... I'd buy it in a heartbeat over a 5 series Bimmer if I was sure it is reliable... It looks soooo good !

i don't understand why people even buy the 5 series. It's like they get up the cash and decide they want a better car but just default to BMW.


There are so many other cars i'd rather have than a 5 series.... now the M5 on the other hand...
