If you have owned a PT Cruiser - the I3 is very close in interor space.

Just testing to see if I can post yet - thanks

Hey guys maybe we could start a Tesla Weigh-Watch Program I need to lose a few pounds myself! lol

thanks for the reply Ill agree the I3 is not for every one but it is a fun car thats pretty quick and handles really great and is roomy for 4 adults. I understand BMW has started a program where you can drive it for a day or two to try it out. regards

Jeff. Were saying the same thing, im agreeing with you but there is no supercharging network for rual areas like up here in N Ga . My business keeps me on the road as well howeveer most rual areas I travel there is not any network that is usaable. thanks

Thanks for the reply but the event your talking about is a planed crossing and this is not real world by any chance. For the most part you really can not go anywhere in remote areas I live in N Ga there is no networks from there north unless you travel interstate. By the way I own 3 electrics...

Sorry I was not trying to change the topic, the MPGe of the ELR is 82 MPGe and the Telsa 85 is 85 MPGe. The point I was trying to make is they are simular in operating cost. regards Mike

I agree Steve - if were talking about transportation - almost no one is traveling 50 miles a day so why lug around and have the expense of a 85kw car/ pack when its not needed. The Volt has the right idea and the beauty of it is you can drive from Miami to La without seconding guessing it. It...

Not sure i follow - the Volt isn't limited on range and the MPGe is higher on the Volt that the Tesla 85kw. Regards

I agree talking about different cars is good - but these are two cars designed for two different purposes! Regards

There is no state to state charging network in place and there won't be for years to come! You don't stand a chance in the world traveling around with a battery only car. We're not talking about LA traving down the main highways, I'm talking about real world travel like Ga Tn Carolina Va, etc...

Forget Hydrogen - we're maybe two decades away from having a dependable fueling network for these cars - Hydrogen is just another attempt for the gas companies to get us back on the pumps again!

Very good Point! LOL Mike

There are thousands of Volt and ELR owners who never put gas in their car and run primarily on battery - although unlike a battery only car, the Volt & ELR can travel state to state unlike battery only electric cars! Regards Mike

I'm not understanding what the problem is - the ELR it gets 35-40 Miles on a charge - the average commute for 80% of the average US drivers is less than 40 miles so it would seem the ELR is right in the target for most users. The real beauty is you can plug it into a 110 v outlet and the next...

Great interesting thread guys - You really can't compare the I8 to the Tesla they are two different vehicles - one is purely electric (battery only) and the other (BMW I8) for the most part only uses the electric for the front axle to assist the twin turbo / 6 speed gas engine in the rear for 4...

You don't have a clue of what you're talking about - the Fisker was powered by a generator engine - the I8 has a high performance engine with an 6 speed transmission - furthermore the electric in the I8 is only there for front axle use for launching the car off the line. The BMW I3 has more...

A lot of guys were negitive on the Volt when it was announced but it turned out to be a great vehicle.
