I take that back.. it started with cell phone/computer while driving started it's end.
as "far" as drive system. no real difference.. when they get the recharge in 10 minutes working and available like gas stations.
Heh heh You may want to take a few more electric vehicles for a drive. WAAAY more fun than a gas burner. More power, quieter, nimble. Right now ferrari, lambourghini, Mazerati are trying to figure out how to make their million dollar 2 seat gas burners with 5000 dollar per year maintenance costs compete with a 100,000 American made Tesla with four coffee cup holders and a baby seat. 2.5 seconds zero to sixty and no chance of wheel spin. :) :)
Think Porsche 918. Gas engine has 600 hp, add in the electric motors and your at 880 hp and 940 ft-lb torque:E
Sounds like a nice car. Let me know when it can catch a Tesla. And I'll betcha its a lot more bucks.
We took a tesla for a drive last winter. Not in my budget but great car, Great American car Company. Some of the technology ended up in our little puddle jumper but nothing like the Tesla in terms of performance. Still drops many cars off the line though. Way fun.
It'll be waiting at the finish line for the Tesla. Car & Driver test of 0 - 60 was 2.2 seconds. OTOH you could buy 10 Teslas for the price of one Porshe 918.
