I think this is a very important moment in the history of the automobile. The Tesla is is merely the halo car for all modern electric cars. It won't be perfect, and we should expect some glitches; but so far so good.
The Model S looks incredibly good. It performs better than any 5 seat sedan under $100K. It is built here in America. It has a Cd of 0.22 (I think?) and the battery is in the floor; both are key features for EV's. The only thing I would change in the design to gain some efficiency, is to make it front wheel drive, to get better regenerative braking.
What is the cell format in the Model S? I thought it was very different from the Roadster? Do they still require active cooling?

Elon is a jet setter. I wonder how he's going to make sure the car gets driven often enough before it bricks.
