In vogue? Hardly. It was barely more than a concept. I bet that no readers here have ever seen one on the streets. So to me it is not a foregone conclusion that the Tesla has much more, perhaps it has less, maturity or wider availability than the EV-1. However I am looking forward to a hope that this hype turns into something real.

It seems so obvious for any electric even the hybrids...Why. Help me understand...please. This car is beautiful but why do they not integrate photovoltic solar skin?

So long, GEM. Sayonara, honorable Prius." Make room for the new king of the road, the "next big thing", the "must have" 'rocket car to the future! Nikola Tesla himself would weep with joy to have been honored by this sleek, sexy, powerfully hot, bitchin' SuperCar loaded with torque and state-of-the-art technology!

I want one so badly I can taste it. Just have to come up with $100K... Martin Eberhard's vision is genius. And like him, I want a seriously sexy sports car that is also earth friendly. We are all lucky he had the smarts and finesse to make that dream reality. Proud to be a fellow Californian with this guy? Hell yes!
