Where can I buy a good electric car?

Consumer reports credibility is out the window. http://on.wsj.com/18x6eeS

Tesla makes its profit from government subsidies http://bit.ly/12hDfIF

Tesla's "green" credentials are based on fraudulent EPA ratings http://onforb.es/pNTWam

Nothing you cited says Consumer Reports' credibility is out the window. If anything your link says that Motor Trend agrees.

The government subsidy claim is false. Those credits are paid by other car manufacturers, not the government. And thank you for pointing out that the revenue jumped by $532 million vs. last year. Even if the credits are important, they won't matter by next year after such outstanding growth.

Lastly, your EPA article points out some debatable points about MPG calculations. But who cares, look at the sticker in your example. Annual fuel cost: $561. The average new car uses $1900 in gas per year.

Thank you for providing these links. They completely destroy your point.

The WSJ is known for it's lack of credibility, as is Forbes. LOL

Exactly what point do you think they are making that supports you? Learn to read.

I heard Terry McAuliffe might have one to well you.

Did you know that if you brick the battery (and it's happened) you are on the hook for another one to the tune of 40K? It's not covered by the warrantee. You also should have a dedicated circuit in the garage to charge it into, as even running an extension cord can brick the battery.

I was just out in California and they have charging stations all over the place. Go to any business in Silicon Valley and they have tons of them. There are two or three at my Harris Teeter's parking garage in Arlington. And I just saw one in a downtown parking garage on K Street yesterday. So its coming.

Most people don't drive cross country. They drive to work and back. That means no trips to the gas station.

There can be thousands of charging stations however there is still the time it takes to charge. 1/2 hour at a rest stop might be OK for some, but for others, like myself, I spend no more than 15 minutes - 10 to gas up, 5 to pee. 1/2 hour or more is absolutely unacceptable. Going to my beach house would deplete the charge of the battery by the time I hit Jersey. Then I have to wait 1.5 hours or more (more like 3) to re-charge. Um. No.

The most implausible part of this post is the idea that a vapid internet troll has a beach house.

You will still need a gas powered vehicle. That's my point.
