New York Times: Straightforward review of Tesla Model S: Tow-job.


It's now like as if the NYT is a darling of the right...they
gave a straightforward/real-world review of this POS car
and this news report covers it beautifully.

Musk can scream till blue in the face, fact is: Nobody wants
to sit around for 90 minutes as a car recharges...especially
on a road trip...and how the Model S lost 65 miles of charge power
by sitting idle overnight...is troubling indeed.

Summary: Electric cars are simply too expensive, underpowered
and useless for city-to-city driving. At best, the EV car is a brutally expensive
paperweight with time sucking recharge times.

As human beings we were never meant to wait 90+ minutes for
a car to 'get ready'. We want to get to point B as soon as possible...and
if that means getting a gas effecient car which will do it with the least
amount of hassle:

paying for gas is not only a major time saver...but it's also
a headache saver
