In other words, there is nothing in production that makes even the
120 miles you claim.

300 ÷ 120 = 2.5

So now you are claiming that there is a pure electric car in
production that gets 300 miles to a charge?

Where is it?

Oh, I think you may find it about 8 posts
back above this one, where I told you the first
time. However, they frequently exceed that
distance.

The Tesla Roadster only claims 245 miles/charge.
The Tesla Model S claims 300 miles/charge, but Tesla says it wont be
available till 2012.

Oh yeah - the Tesla Roadster has a list price of $109,000.
The Tesla Model S is listed at $56,500.
There is a $7500 tax incentive that drops those prices a little.

You can buy a pretty nice plane for $109k.

At this juncture we're discussing whether the technology
exists, and if it's going mainstream.

No, where are discussing whether or not the technology is on the market
with a side discussion of how affordable it is if it is on the market.

I'm not smart enough to do that. I'll have to restrict myself
to one topic, establish reality, then pick another. Your main
refute thus far has been that it is technologically impossible.
You've said it over and over.

Learn to read.

What I've said was technologically impossible for the foreseeable future
is any kind of portable, electric storage device to come anywhere near the
energy density of gasoline/diesel fuel.

Is this still your stance on an electric car? That they won't
exceed 40 miles on a charge, and never will, therefore we'll
never see them on the roads?

Learn to read.

What I've said was I don't see any production, pure electric cars with
a one charge range of greater than 40 miles.

Since saying that I realize the Tesla gets around 200 miles on a charge,
so there is one.

One.

What I also said was that the price of all the pure electric cars was too
high for anyone other than a rich enviro-whinner to buy one.

The price of the Tesla is over $100,000, about what a new LSA costs.

You have said such a price level is unatenable for the average person
to buy an airplane.

If that is too much to pay for a new airplane, it also too much to pay for
a new car.

QED.
