I almost bought (or should I say, ordered - still not shipping) a Tesla last year, but the ridiculous additional charges if you weren't located in one of their dealership markets (an extra 8-10K) made me greatly question the projected reliability. The parameters behind the Tesla are spectacular, but the execution thus far is suspect. Sorta reminds me of the infamous Moller flying car (OK, not quite that bad). Not surprised that there have been some big shakeups. Too many more delays, and even the big automakers will have closed the gap... By the way, if you want to check out a low volume exotic at the other end of the "green" spectrum, check out http://www.rossioncars.com.
