this one is American. So just ignore the Luddites, they will never get it and their opinions mean nothing anyway. They are the types who lamented the demise of carburetor and points and condensers. There are obviously a lot of things to like and love about this car.  Tesla decided to come out first with a high-end sedan.  Good, but don't ask me to help pay for it, by either taxpayer loans or subsidies of any kind.  I don't like that Tesla cars buyers get a $7500 tax credit.  Let them pay full price; it seems like a good buy without it if you can afford it to begin with. I also don't like that many of its supporters claim it is a green car. There are lots of arguments for this car, but please lay off the global warming related arguments.  Millions like myself live in an area of the world that has seen glaciers a mile thick come and go over the eons, without one vehicle having traversed the landscape, so enough with bringing in superfluous topics when talking about cars that go fast and look great.  I still love the '65 Pontiac GTO, and I don't give a damn whether it pushes CO2 out its tailpipe, and frankly no one should.  It's beautiful, fun to look at and drive, and that's all that matters to its owner.  And please, trash-talking the oil companies regarding subsidies or other false giveaways, the government makes more money than any oil
