Now I'm all for the Tesla - finally a "prius" that looks good. Yeah, the initial buy-in is really only for the well-off in California - right now that is.
But then again, we're on a forum where we put V8's into cars, right?
Interesting other point - it was mentioned that a prius would be the way to go. Well, keep your RX-7, buy yourself a Geo Metro to save gas (and save the world).

EDIT: Oh yeah, I would never buy a Geo. I'll keep my 7, and get a 500-600cc motorcycle.
