Why do we need a car like this on the market? It's an impractical electric elise that costs a small fortune for what it is. People get it as a symbol, not for any kind of efficiency (you would never recoup what you spent on the car in gas savings, even if you were comparing it to a H1 Hummer).

Secondly if the motivation is to "lower the carbon footprint of mankind" or other such rubbish in an effort to combat [manmade] "global warming" - then do some research.

I for one could care less if Tesla tanks. I think it's an ugly bastardization of an existing car that got too much credit where little was due. There are other all-electric cars out there with more innovation and refinement that also cost less.
