Some good news finally.

Tesla took 711 orders today for the new Model S the second most advanced all electric car on the planet. What is the most advanced?" you ask? Well, that is the roadster. Did I mention the roadster is faster than a porsche, a lotus, and a dodge viper? Yep it is. And 240 miles on a charge.

The Model S will be a 50 grand car, all electric of course, 4 seater and 300 miles on a charge. You heard me right, 300 miles on one charge, and it can fully charge in 45 minutes. The 50 grand is quite steep, but it is half the price of the roadster. Not bad for a company that didn't exist a few years ago.

As the roadster is coming off the assembly line as fast as they can make them, and the Model S is next in line to hit the road. I wonder if GM can ever come up with an excuse for making an electric car that only goes 40 miles on a charge and it runs on GAS!

Now I am not much for conspiracy theories. But when you say it can't go farther than 40 miles on a charge because of battery limitations, and in the 90s you were making the ev1 and it would do 150 miles on a charge... well... you lose your credibility.

American people, yes this is what GM has been saying. They figured you would just forget that they had a better electric car in the 90s so they could sell you an electric car that runs on gas. Once again not a conspiracy theorist, but something is not right.

So why is it they canceled, recalled, and destroyed the ev1's? If they already had an electric car, why stop making them? Well they claim it is because nobody wanted to buy them. Yet Tesla Motors has been selling them faster then they can be made. They have a 2 year waiting list currently.

GM you don't deserve a bailout, you deserve to go bankrupt and learn a lesson. Give the consumer what they want or go out of business.
