Hi @ccool, Thank you for this! I'm curious if you have found the E12-07 spec in English, I can only find the document in French. It looks very interesting and I'd be tempted to shop for some panels and see if there is even the slightest business case to installing them. Thanks!

I would *love love love* to have solar panels and be able to be net negative. Unfortunately, in Quebec there is no functionality to feed back to the utility right now so I would only be on my own power during the day and it's only in winter when I'm heating the house that that would actually be helpful. My car is with me at work so I couldn't use solar to charge it either. Trust me, I wish that were economically feasible in Quebec, but right now it isn't. That may change though...

I can't stand kids!

I'm in the higher range because of my Tesla :)

Have you driven a Model S? Do that, and then come back here. You'll understand.

"If so, the marketing must be better than the Volt's. Otherwise, it won't matter how good the car is." Tesla hasn't done any marketing besides just being an amazing car. And they are selling like hotcakes. The only reason car manufacturers have to market their "next-gen" ICE cars is that with each passing year, the changes on new models are incremental at best. The Tesla Model S is a revolutionary car in every sense of the word and therefore required zero marketing for it to literally sell-out for months ahead of time.

I own a Tesla Model S and I've never read that they will offer hardware upgrade (besides, perhaps, the performance plus option package). Where did you read/hear this? But the software upgrades on the Model S are AWESOME.

First of all, let me say that I think the car is worth it even at the $57,500 price point. Also, the $7,500 isn't Tesla's "fault", it's the government's for having created such a program. And it's debatable as to whether the program should exist or not. And I'm not sure it's true that only people who care about faux green prestige will be interested in this car. I don't care if people think I'm green or not, but as a techno-geek, I love the idea of the Tesla and what the company stands for. I also appreciate Musk's philosophy that car technology always feels dated and it's time to bring it forward into the 21st century. Furthermore, although I can barely afford a car at this price point, if I had to compare to other cars at the same price, it would be a no-brainer for me. To say that the car only appeals to rich faux environmentalists is a stretch methinks...

As far as I'm concerned, the Tesla S is a revolutionary vehicle that will set the bar for future electric vehicles. And I agree with Elon Musk that all future cars will be electrically powered. Tesla is proving that electric vehicles can 1) be practical, 2) have extended range, 3) not be exorbitantly expensive, 4) be friggin' sexy!! This is only their second car and they are already hitting a home run. Imagine what the fourth and fifth generation of vehicles will be able to do... I'm surprised more /.ers aren't impressed with this car... it's a geek's dream!
