I'm the OP, and unless you think Elon Musk is a political figure (he isn't), then it was about Motor Trend's 2013 Car of the Year. Maybe you think electric vehicles are some how political?

Actually, it started as an observation that the Tesla is Motor Trend's Car of the Year. I don't consider that a political statement at all. Unfortunately, some folks chose to make it political.

I have been following this thread and had my finger on the "delete" button in case it went south. If you gentlemen can have a civil discussion about the technical merits of electric vehicles, I will leave the thread open.

Is that what it is? Folks on the forum don't want to see production and acceptance of electric cars? All I can suggest is go test drive the Tesla and then decide if the makers weren't thinking of us hot rodders when they designed it. An 85 KWh battery in an electric with the performance of the Nissan Leaf would be a 400 mile range battery, but they choose to give us serious performance and a bit less range. Plus, shouldn't it be a US automaker that leads the way?
