vaporware indeed.

They'll take your cash down payment to reserve your spot and then never deliver the cars.

Look at the debacle that was the Roadster getting to the public.

Tesla is a **** company and will be a **** company until Elon Musk steps down as CEO.

These electric cars have no gear. So, no clutch.

I believe they have one gear.

Although... I think the Tesla was supposed to come with 2... but It didnt at the end and they promised to put it later on on any sold car (for free).

Yup - it was supposed to come with two gears but it kept breaking all the damned time.

They've promised to retrofit a two speed when they actually figure out how to make it work.

That 45 minute quick charge probably kills the batter life by years and, like other electric cars, will cost a buttload to replace batteries.

the new hot **** with electric cars is leasing the batteries

cuts about $15,000 off the purchase price - lease them for $100/month and never worry about that ****.

Oh snap.

I don't think Porsche has too much to worry about - its top speed will be in the 120ish area, it won't handle because it'll weigh a billion pounds, and the 0-60 in 4.5 is for the base model with a manual - a PDK model will do it in 4.3, a PDK S will do it in under 4 - no turbos.
