The top of the line. I think it would be a fun car to drive to my entry level jorb. And its quick and really really ridiculously good looking. Plus free electrons at supercharging stations! This is a strange admission from someone who thinks electrical cars are for hippies who want to save the planet for kids that arent theirs.

Also I want to have a crap load more batteries and put them and the tesla drivetrain and suspension in an old ford station wagon.

I think maybe I am just interested in seeing if it might be fun to drive one around not paying for gas and stopping at supercharging stations every once in a while.

Most people aren't buying electric cars to be green. They're buying them so they don't have to buy gas.

Save money on gas and TORRRRQQQUUUEEE. Plus it's sexy as fuck! There is a white one near my neighborhood and I always break my neck looking at it.

From the people I've met that own one or want one it's to save money compared to a similar gas luxury car. The people buying these are businessmen, not hippies.

I want one too! My commute to work is minimal, so no range anxiety. Plus, they are talking about adding special parking spaces for EV's which means I could charge for free!

Chalk another one up for the "I want one too!" crowd.

I love the idea of not paying for gas. Every time the price jumps up, people freak out. At least I can make my own electricity much easier than I can make my own gasoline.

Oh, it's an everyday thing where I live. I did see one in green yesterday just like this, but with the 21 inch wheels.
