Tesla Delivers First Batch of Model S Electric Sedans

After years of tantalizing pictures and promises, on Friday the first 10 Model S sedans left Tesla's Fremont, California factory. This first handful of the new S has long been spoken for, and the cars have been delivered (or are on the way) to buyers around the U.S. Even with tax-supported subsidies, the new sedan isn't cheap: the subsidized base price is just under $50,000. Still, 10,000 people have put down five grand apiece for the chance to own one. Wired has a brief piece on what the S is like to drive. What's a 160-miles-per-charge, $50k car worth to you?

"when China adds another 1 billion who want to consume like Americans"

Pro tip for you. Stop consuming like americans. Europe have a better standard of living and have half the amount of CO2 use per capita.

And before you whine about all the size of the USA, remember: YOU DON'T FRIGGING LIVE IN THE WILDERNESS.

Where the fuck do you think one of the worlds biggest and most populous cities exists???

Population density is much higher even on average than Finland which use much less than the European languages DESPITE living so far north they have to pipe sunlight to the country for months at a time.
