Someday, electric sports cars will be a practical reality - for now, they are a novelty.

Yeah, that was sad news.

I heard three middle level engineers died in the plane crash.

I have yet to drive a Tesla, but I can't imagine it touching the greatness of a combustion counterpart, like Porsche. Paraphrasing the guy in the video that brought the Telsa to the track said, it is hard to deny what 50+ years of racing and improvements done to the breed known as Porsche. Tesla (or the concept of) may be a helleva vehicle in many years, but for now I consider it an icon, a statement, or as the MT guy said, a good science experiment.

I admire Tesla for what they have done and what they are doing, but no way am I going to choose one over a Porsche Boxster Spyder.
