    Is an hour charging in Milford long enough to catch a bus to New Haven to grab a tour of Yale and get mugged?

    Not a "gotcha " at all. Just pointing out another impracticality and impediment to moving to electric cars for the masses. The Tesla almost makes The Volt look like a viable solution.

    Just thinking that the typical demographic of a Tesla owner does not call for a cuisine of McDonalds.

    One interesting problem with the Tesla Supercharger: it only works on Tesla's Model S.

    Not only does it not work for other electric cars, it won't even recharge the Tesla Roadster.

    I understand why you'd keep something like this proprietary for as long as possible, but I also think there'd be some value in treating it as an open source asset to be used by others.

    A charger for the 1 %ers. Not a good business model in this day and age to garner public funds and support.

    And you seem unable or unwilling to stop changing your facts to fit your different arguments every time Ragu shoves it up your ass.

    Big shocker there.

    I still can't walk down 7th ave without hearing that stupid jingle in my head.

    Nice talk.

    The last thing I corrected on the thread was electric car users being a "small niche market."

    Be better off going to Pepi's New Haven Pizza.

    To bad that the jai alai fronton closed in Milford. That would have been a great way for to kill a few hours waiting for your car to charge up.
