Re: Tesla

Mileage-wise, I think your best bet remains the early Honda CRX with plastic everywhere and paper-thin sheet metal. If memory serves me right, it got over 50 mpg on the highway on regular gas. Set up right, it could be your DD and autoX toy. Now, if only all the boy racers hadn't snapped them all up and thrashed them...

p.s. good point about the carbon footprint of EVs -- it just moves it farther away from the end user so they don't see it on a daily basis
