Not a political post? My ass it wasn't a political post.
How the Hell did you find a correlation between oil consumption and establishing democracy in Iraq?
Basically you just said "If we use less oil the insurgents in Iraq will immediately cease their resistance and democracy will be established!" I could keep going on and on about your post, because it's damn ridiculous but I just don't have the energy to type that 4,000 word reply. That's how long it would take to point out your flaws.

Yeah, you said it buddy. Man...
..
Anyway, this car looks effing awesome. I wonder how much it'll cost?
Russell @ Nov 6th 2007 1:24PM
This car will cost a bundle, you ll have to wait for the Volt.
The Volt will be the car for the average Joe.
Russell @ Nov 6th 2007 1:25PM
Plus this requires a special 220volt charger where the Volt will use a regular 110v plug

The Tesla Roadster does *not* require 220V. It can plug into a regular 110V outlet, the same outlet your regular household electronics are plugged into. From Tesla Motors' FAQ: "How do you recharge it? Unlike EVs of the past, the Tesla Roadster has a built-in battery charging system that can basically plug into any outlet... There is also an optional mobile charging kit that allows you to charge from any available electrical outlet (110V or 220V) wherever you happen to be."

why not the LS2LS7? @ Nov 6th 2007 11:50PM
A 110V outlet is useless for charging this thing. You can only draw 1800W from a standard 110V outlet. The Tesla has a 53,000Wh battery. It would take 29 hours to charge from a 110V outlet, assuming 100% efficiency (which isn't even achievable).
