First logical answer
You should raise your eyebrows when Tesla suggests a 45-minute charging time or the notion that battery swapping might be built in.
Tesla is suggesting that it could offer quick charging in 45 minutes, and an option to extend driving range to 300 miles. But these things, and a number of other futuristic features, are examples of Tesla getting ahead of itself.

and perhaps the 5.5 figure is only for a sports version, we don’t know
Tesla claims that you can drive cross country while stopping to charge the batteries. According to the company this only takes 45 minutes. However, that is with the (expensive) 440 volt plugs, which you won’t be able to find anywhere you don’t have it specifically installed.
This time figure is also likely for the smallest battery pack size. Do you even want to stop every 2 hours for 1 hour to charge your electric car?

The Tesla will be a neat car if it is ever produced. But without a range extender it will be a minor niche product.

But even if Federal funding does not pan out, Musk emphasizes that the Model S "WILL come to market."
Well, we'll see.

As it is, I think they will probably go belly up in the next year and a half.
The depositors would have done better in Vegas with the same $$ (and better odds of ever seeing a nickel of their ‘investment’ again)
The future may be electric, but that doesn’t mean the future is Tesla. I do want them to succeed, but I would never do business with a company that behaves like this.

Ponzi scheme? I don’t think that term means what you think it means. If they deliver product, it isn’t a Ponzi scheme.
