[AT] Tesla Factory (OT)

[charlie hill]

So you recharge them what... every 80 miles?
How long does it take?  Certainly a lot longer than
it takes me to pump 22 gallons of gasoline in my
4 wd pickup truck that allows me to drive 400 plus miles
before needing to be refilled?  What kind of fuel do they
use to make the electricity for the charging station?  Coal,
bunker C oil, natural gas, nuclear power?  What is your time
worth while you are waiting .... what 4 hours for every hour you drive
to recharge?

I have no problem with electrical motors driving vehicles, Diesel over 
electric
works very well for locomotives and heavy construction equipment.  Not so
much for small cars used for anything other than a short daily commute.

Stephen,  just so you don't miss it this time, these are rhetorical 
questions
intended to make a point.  They don't require your reply.

Tesla has two networks of charging stations:

1)  "Destination" charging stations, at hotels, restaurants, malls, etc.
