I know you don't... and I should have probably tagged that comment with some /sarcasm or something... but I also knew I had to poke the bear a little bit.

    Tesla the cult has the potential to inhibit the long-term prospects of Tesla the car company.

Thank you for eloquently stating how I feel.

    it might drive the rest of the industry into making non-fuggly EVs.

As a driver of one of those fuggly EVs - I couldn't agree more.

    not only would we have actually gotten a few CX-75s they'd have cost half as much.

That is one FINE looking automobile.

My confession is that I actually think the Gen1 Insight and the GM EV1 are pretty much best-in-show for EVs right now. the Jag is a hybrid (a hybrid with a TURBINE ENGINE until they value engineered it), as is the Fisker Karma.

I mean, you need no cooling and you can hide the motors anywhere. Let's get radical with this stuff!
