Idiots....

And in case anyone doesn't know anything about the Tesla Roadster: Click me! (http://www.teslamotors.com/roadster)

What a bunch of fucktards to go and wreck these things. Yes its electric and instant power is provided as soon as the throttle is hit but that's just fucking ridiculous.

Meh.  I'm not crazy about electric cars.

+1. No green police in this house.

I'd drive the Tesla though

If I had the money it would be one of my top 20

If I had the money, I'd buy a car that's less harmful to the environment.  It would probably be a '55 Chevy 210 with a blown 572.

Less harmful than what? Haha

Less harmful than an electric car.

LOL yeah a blown 510 is great for fossil fuel consumption.

Its not like we're going to tap our fossil fuels in this lifetime. Why not have fun with it?

I'm being totally srsly too.  A blown 572 would be less harmful to the environment than an electric car.  The self righteous people that buy hybrids or electric cars to flaunt the fact they are eco-friendly, fail to recognize how harmful manufacturing the batteries are to the environment.  Just because it doesn't burn fossil fuels doesn't mean that it is good for the environment.

Renewable energy. If the battries are recycled what negitive effects are there on the enviroment? I'm really wondering this is a conversation I've never had.

Those batteries are only designed to last 80k miles, at least in the hybrid cars

I understand that but, if the componets are recycled like they are supposed to be than I don't see how that is a negative impact.

Look into the environmental damage caused by producing the batteries.  The recycling thing is just so they don't fuck up the environment even more.  Here are a few articles that talk about the environmental damage caused by manufacturing the batteries in hybrids.

As you can tell, I am anti-hybrid and anti-electric because of the harmful effects of battery production.  It is grossly overlooked when compared to cars that burn fossil fuels.  I'd prefer to see alternative fuels used instead of electrics.
