Sounds great Eric, but just because you don't pay doesn't mean its really free. Just another expense on the taxpayer, and you still have no idea of the costs of safe disposal after it leaves your hands...

If I drive the Tesla it takes about 400 watthrs for a round trip. Wow! are you sure of that Eric? That's less energy than you would expend on a bicycle even on flat ground!

Please remember to add in the energy required to build the Telsa and to replace the batteries when they lose their capacity (as they always do).
