11/12/2007 kent beuchert: "The Tesla story is over"..."The plug-in Lightning has totally eclipsed the Tesla in every way and is a livable vehicle"...

Real shame... A nice, positive Tesla article, and his is the only response.
(Edit: it looks like that site has removed his comments now)

That's funny considering the Lightning started later in the game, and has less proven than the Tesla, not even a demonstration model. It also costs more and as it is also a sports car, it is likely not going to be much more livable than the Tesla. The first response from many Jalops was that it looked like an old kit car...not exactly a complement, whereas the response for the Tesla was that it was like an electric Elise.

By the way, I found another post by this guy commenting on the Tesla and the Lightning:
thebiker45:
"...Tesla was just too arrogant to consider the Altair and too anxious to put their 4 hour recharge crap on the road...And they don't require Tesla's Rube Goldberg battery management HVAC monitoring system."

I think only this guy would call the Tesla's battery management "Rube Goldberg." It's interesting, as he doesn't seem to have an equal grudge on all EVs, just on the Tesla.

Maybe he was a software developer who ended up hating both Windows and Linux.

He spent most of his life in the Washington, DC area, but due to price speculation at his McLean, VA condo, decided to sell and retire to Florida.

Someone at Tesla should answer this one.

Here we go again:

12/12/2007 "If Ed Begley, prime liar in the crockumentary 'WKtEC?'..."
12/11/2007 "Perhaps some of those gullible skeptics who bought into the pathetically inane logic of 'WKtEC?' still have doubts. But then, they're total morons anyway"
12/10/2007 "The V2G scheme is a braindead idea"

Usual M.O.... Drop a turd then leave and watch everyone wallow in the mess.

Hey, look where our little friend turned up now. The first (and at this time, only) person to post anything about a favorable review of the Aptera on Gizmodo, Australia. (Spelling and formatting errors retained from original)
TEG, I think we're both right. It's some kind of alcohol fueled resentment against anything Left Coast.

LOL geez this guy must be a real idiot. I can't believe all the sources you people were able to link him to. Good work! I'm "somewhat" new to this forum, but I'm very impressed with the wealth of information here. Nothing compares. Bye the way Kent, you suck @ life.

Do you think he's related to JH on the Tesla blog?

Here's another update:
Newsweek hails Maximum Bob as the savior of the electric car! - AutoblogGreen
"Here we can plainly see the errors wrought by Chris Pain's fictitious crockumentary."
"Actually, Bob Lutz didn't save the elctric car - that would be quite impossible without a practical full sized battery pack "
"When the fuel cell costs failed to come down fast enough, the VOLT was a natural
(but only slight) variation that newer, better batteries made possible. This car could not have been built back when the public was avoiding the EV-1 like the plague (Sorry, Chris Paine, but your film is a pack of lies, and you know it). "

Clearly trying to discredit the film. The weird thing was that although a lot of what he says is true (that the Volt is a PHEV, honda and other manufacturers also destroyed EVs, not just GM), there are things that are just outright false. He says the public was avoiding the EV-1 like the plague, which is just not true. Most people didn't even hear of it b/c of limited advertisement, so how can they avoid it if they didn't even know it existed. The waiting list for it was full. Clearly people had interest.
Still trying very hard overall to put out the impression that a practical EV is impossible dispite admitting that we now have "newer, better batteries". Lucky seems like no one in autobloggreen is falling for the trap.
