Not that I'm against alternative fuels, but making it an electric car doesn't mean it automatically an environmentally viable alternative.

Also, how would you be able to dispose of all of the batteries when you can't service the car anymore?

Besides, if you wanted the car to be environmental, you wouldn't make it a sports car. The sports car aspect of it makes it more appealing, but that's not how you get more mileage out of it. But I do understand it from a marketing point of view.

That's being a bit too extreme methinks. After half of the population moans about gas prices and emissions, the first descent example of an electric car (don't link me to Venturi or the EV-1) comes out and it's still not good enough. While this may not fit the bill for the globe saver, it serves as a great stepping stone for future green car projects, be it electric, hydrogen, or ethanol.

I'm not a huge fan of the Tesla, but I think it's a move in the right direction.
