I agree!! Tesla's are awesome. Can't wait to get one (hopefully next spring).

I have been looking at the Volt for a while. It's a Nice Car, but it's barely 1-step up from a Hybrid.

Hybrids suck because there is very little economy boost to these cars. They use electricity to "assist" a shitty gasoline motor. DUMB!! They are expensive, they still pollute, and in my opinion are nothing more than a band-aid to the big problem.

The Chevy Volt is better. The Volt is an electric car that gets an assist when needed by a gas engine. But instead of the gas engine powering the wheels like a regular hybrid, it instead turns a generator which charges the batteries. SMARTER!

The best though are the Tesla's. Very forward thinking. They drop gasoline (and all the oil, weight, transmission and other weight) and went 100% electric. I love it. Can't wait to get one.
