Three times battery capacity - is that Good enough?
Per Frank Krygowski:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/lithiu...174641552.html Still off in the future, but it sounds promising. And what a great name! 94 years old and still kickin' it ??? I hope somebody gets a tissue sample from that guy before he dies so future generations can see what such a genome looks like. I have a personal theory about electric cars: once somebody starts selling cars with a "Thousand-Mile Battery" electric cars will start going mainstream. I've been reading posts from Tesla owners on Quora.com and at least one guy got rid of his "Backup" gas-powered car after he realized that he had not used it in some very long time period and another guy had driven his Tesla coast-to-coast with no particular hassles beyond planning charging stops. I was looking at Teslas the other day - until I found out that the one that at least comes close to fitting my non-standard body costs over 80 grand.... Geeze, talk about sticker shock !!. I guess I'm back to reality and the idea of trading my 2005 F-150 in for a post-2009 (side airbags) Chevy or GMC pickup.... -) -- Pete Cresswell |

The salesman (or whatever he was) was extremely knowledgeable, and while I'm no longer much of a car guy, the machine was pretty darned awesome. I guess I could sell my house and use the money to buy one... -- - Frank Krygowski |
