$35K Tesla Coming In 2017 (supposedly)

My only concerns with an electric are the environmental cost of manufacturing/disposing/recycling the batteries and the monetary cost when they need to be replaced. Since I seldom keep a car long enough to change tires, the latter is not a big concern.

And the fact that if a lot of people go to electric cars the power grid will collapse.

Batteries still have a very long way to go until a car is truly "green," but it is nice to think one is helping.
Also, the grid thing is going to become less of an issue. There was an article in Houston talking to our main power supplier CEO. They are seeing a reduction in home usage, not because people are conserving more but because people are installing solar panels at a increasing rate. Not enough to get off the grid but enough to power most daily operations.

Yes it is still expensive, but when it costs 10-20k for a full install, parts, etc. and that is before any credits it is now a viable option for homeowners.
