I'm wondering whether it would be useful to have a FAQ section. There seem to be a number of common questions that it might be nice to have addressed in a thread each.
In the Tesla Motor blogs, where some questions seem to come up frequently, having a single link to answers might drive more traffic here.
(TM's site has a very good information, but it's hard to link to individual answers, as they are either buried deep inside a blog entry, or placed in JavaScript popups.)
A few questions might be:
1) What about battery technology XYZ? What are the basic differences between various chemistries?
2) Can a 10-minute recharging battery ever work?
3) What about mounting wind turbines/solar panels on the car?
4) Would a modular, "swapping" battery system work?
5) Range (previous discussions could be linked or moved here).
6) Basic electricity questions, especially for individuals (like me) without much background in it. How much power is 50kWh? How does that amount relate to other usage, like in the home? What are the basic principles of electricity math (e.g., watts = amps * volts)?
7) Other stuff that keener minds think of...
