I don't know what they look like, so I can't say I've ever seen one. But I'd rather see those on the road than a bunch of gas-guzzlers, even if they were made by rocket jesus.

They are all over the place near me, but then so are colossal SUVs and pristine, never carried or hauled anything F-250s and Silverado-3500s and such.

I think the important thing about Tesla Motors isn't them and their products, it's that the other automakers were sitting on their asses and ignoring electrical vehicles until Tesla came along. Now Nissan, GM, and BMW sell battery-powered cars and most other automakers are working on them. I'll never own a Tesla, but someday I might own a Nissan Leaf.
