  1. its their loss of a market of 450m people, they must be doing well elsewhere.

    Look up using solar PV tiles (also called solar slates/shingles) for new housing i.e. the solar PV tiles are the solar collectors so you don't need to cover the roof in ordinary tiles and then put panels on to.

    If you are building a house from scratch and if you are sensible you'd use the solar PV tiles instead of roof tiles plus panels, there won't be much in it.

  7. its reducing the pollution while idling not saving gas thats the aim of the stop/start

  8. you're not expecting Tesla to become a volume producer like Ford etc overnight? Thats totally unrealistic with a new paradigm and starting from scratch. So much for volume producers like GM who had to bailed out.

  9. "Considering a whole hell of a lot of factories that make actual things like steel and automobiles and petrochemicals are located in Alabama" - looks like they are going to get left behind if they don't start getting some 21st century manufacturing.

    "I have nothing against Tesla, I think the Model S is a nice car. But I do wish you fanboys would share some of what you are smoking. Ford has sold almost 2.5 million vehicles so far this year. GM has sold almost 2.1 million, Toyota a little over 2.1 million. Mercedes 375K, BMW 305K. Tesla has sold a total of 55,120 which equates to .32% of all vehicles sold in the US." you need to compare like with like, comparing numbers of a premium priced tesla to mass produced box numbers doesn't give a true picture. There are not many newcomers to such a huge capital/manufacturing industry that can changed the landscape like Tesla have in such a short time.
