Obama-Backed Tesla Sues Its Critics
April 6, 2011 1:00 A.M.
By Henry Payne 

Your tax dollars at work.

Subsidized by taxpayers to the tune of a half-a-billion dollars (Obama “investing” your money), Tesla Corporation — and by extension, the feds — has been embarrassed by car journalist Jeremy Clarkson and the Top Gear TV show on BBC. It seems a Tesla Roadster when driven hard on the track (and owners who shell out six-figures for sports cars like to know these things) goes a mere 55 miles. Not the 200 that Tesla’s PR machine claims. What’s more, Top Gear — which does not yet suffer from green political correctness like car mags stateside — says the “car of the future” takes 16 hours to recharge, and recommends (tongue planted firmly in cheek) that buyers shell out another $100,000 for a second Tesla while the other one recharges.

Ouch. Welcome to the real world, electric cars.

Tesla’s response? Sue ’em!

So the US blew half-a-billion on a crap car because we fret over a crap science and now a significant part of that sum of money will be spent on lawyers.
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

Where there's a will, there's a way....and if there is any way, there's a lawyer willing to sue somebody.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

If you drove a bugatti veyron at top speed (+/-250mph) it goes about 51 miles - in TWELVE MINUTES. Of course you can refill the tank in about 5 minutes, but it does cost way more. Well not really if you take out the government subsidies.

Remember when that Tom In Tib idiot claimed he got to drive one and said it was fast as hell?  :lmao:

We'll chalk that one up as yet another lie from the idiot.
NAMBLA is a left-wing organization.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
