And unless Boeing already has a plane in the works, I'm not sure I'd believe their claims of being able to do it cheaper any more than Lockheed's.

*sigh* It's in the summary. The Super-hornet is what they are talking about. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_F/A-18E/F_Super_Hornet

The project was/is worked on in my home town, although the person who owns the land they are leasing wanted to force them to sign a 10 year lease instead of a shorter lease has dropped their lease and they are leaving the area in first quarter 2013 to go back to Detroit. There were fuel cell cars driving here on test runs constantly, although since the announcement that has pretty much stopped. On the outside the cars looked like normal GM cars (Of course with nice "GM FUEL CELL CAR" decals branded on it)

Actually, he came pretty damn close to being able to drive 65-80MPH with high heat levels. What he didn't do was actually charge the damn thing like he is supposed to and like he said he did. The last charge was just to 28%, not the 70+% he said.

Like the car or not, but to LIE about the conditions you drove it at is just bad journalism. I hope the guy is fired. I would say the same thing if he put 4 gallons into a ICE Car and claimed the car didn't run as advertised.

Sure why not? Just run whatever charge port you're using through a kill-a-watt type device to meter it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_A_Watt While I'm not sure the Kill-A-Watt device itself supports it, if you can afford a Tesla and high speed charger install, you can afford a meter on that install.

Is that really true though? Internal Magazines aren't banned, you're just not allowed to load more than 7 rounds. I can take an 1897 Winchester Shotgun and put only 7 rounds into the internal magazine and it will work perfectly fine. An M1 Garand doesn't load like that. You need to get a full en-bloc clip (8 rounds) and press that into the magazine. If you only put 7 rounds into the clip the gun doesn't load properly.
