[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why, specifically, are you excited about this?[/quote]

I like Teslas and electric vehicles. They're better for the environment and pollution levels in my city. I hope the city sees this as a great pilot program and introduces an incentive to transition all Sanitation and Street Cleaning vehicles to electric-only as well.[/quote]

Isn’t our electricity coal powered? How are electric cars better for the environment here?[/quote]
DP.. not all electricity is coal powered, even so, getting off of cars that emit noxious gas is better for the environment, both locally and globally.

My only concern about being all electric is the burden on the electricity grid, which in areas that rely on A/C during the summer could be an issue.

Also, if the Tesla  has issues while driving, and it loses power, the car is like a brick that is stuck in the middle of the road.  There is no way to put the car in neutral if it loses power.
