At the mall to get my iPhone re-wrapped with Invisishield and look at the MS Surface store. Voila! A Tesla store with a Model S. A killer car. Waaaay Cool. The screens were not too big as they looked in some pics. They had a frame on wheels showing suspension, battery, power system, motors. A LOT of buzz. I was there early when the stores were opening. By the time I left the Tesla store was pulling them in like the Apple store across the way. "Oh look. That electric car!". Kids were all over it.
Not that I told you so or anything..... I told you so. | PriusChat I like the car and the company and they have made remarkable accomplishments, doesn't change reality though. Designing and manufacturing an all new car is a very expensive operation, and is particularly hard when it's small scale (under 100,000 cars/year) production
