I'm just happy to see some decent electric cars coming out. If they get the battery issues sorted, they will be amazing.

Of course, the limits of batteries are a persistent and tough problem to work around...

I'll be impressed when the technology becomes cheap enough for economy car pricing. Until then, while it represents a "promising future", it's still just a rich boy toy to the masses.

The Volt and Leaf are more attainable, but I don't think they're worth their stickers either.

Hit the market with a decent 20,000 dollar option, that's when I'll "ooh" and "ahh".

Can someone explain the hate to me? I fail to see the downside to this car.

It's good looking, American made, fast, good range, has good storage space, has a cool onboard control system. On top of that maintenance on the vehicle will probably be next to nothing.

The only concern really is battery life and long distance drives. When those suckers go it could end up costing a pretty penny.

Seems like a great companion car to a weekend toy.

Exactly what I was thinking, not sure why people say it's a POS. Everything I have read and seen says different. People fear change.........
