Not sure this is the correct place for this, but would like input on what I feel is an important issue that seems to come up every time I'm asked about the Model S and Tesla. There seems to be so much misinformation out there about electric cars and especially Tesla. Yesterday I was at a friends house and was talking to there son-in-law who happened to be in IT. He seemed to know about Tesla, after all he use to work at Apple, but I was astounded at his lack of factual information. He mentioned to me he was thinking of moving back to the Bay Area and working for Apple again, I said to him maybe he should go to work for Tesla. His response was "I do not know about electric cars and their future. I asked him what he meant and he proceeded to explain to me the problems with them and Tesla specifically. He said you cannot go very far and it takes hours to charge and further into the conversation he mentions that maybe down the road they will come up with an automatic fire retardant system. I was amazed that someone with his background would have not done some reading other than what is in the media about these issues. Of course I proceeded to give him the factual info on these issues and others. My point is that Tesla does not seem to advertise anything and they leave it up to owners to market the company and the car. I would like others to give me their experience and ideas to help change this misinformation that seems prevalent within the general population.
