GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I saw one here once; I had to walk around it to see what it was.

Looks great, FAST, and no gas. Plus they share the same birthplace as our Vibes. What's not to like? Oh yeah, the price...

100% awesome. Incredibly well-engineered, beautiful, functional vehicles. I would love to own one.

Great engineering and the safest car in production. I searched for Tesla S and 1/4 mile on you tube. They are REALLY quick ....However I feel the exterior is too plain for a 100K car and cant stand the dashboard. The large touchscreen just looks silly. Thats my opinion

If I win the lottery (gotta play it FIRST though!) I would buy one in a second and see if I can get the Saleen package done to it, if he is still in business. It looks a lot nicer IMO, and has a few enhancements to the suspension, brakes, interior and trim. Love the candy apple red color, or a shade darker.

I forgot about the Saleen Tesla. It sounds awesome at the track

That Saleen is definitely pretty slick looking !

As ColonelPanic said, Teslas share a birthplace with our Vibes which is pretty neat!

Overall though, I prefer the band to the car company !

I'm more intrigued by the Model X (the SUV.) When I'm done with school, moved, hired and settled in, I think I'll order one!

look what these people think about Tesla:

I have as much business owning a Telsa as I do marrying Miley Cyrus. Unless of course if Miley did not insist on a prenup.

I recently read an article in the WStJ criticiizing the federal govt.tax subsidies for buyers of a Telsa as well as other hybrid vehicles. Especially with the Telsa, this really is subsidizing the wealthy - and I believe that even though I am a Republican and also relatively "wealthy". Solar power and ethanol mandates also have come under increasing criticism as being just plain stupid.

Almost as practical as a Segway. The Segway works UNLESS you are on sand, gravel, snow, ice . . . you know . . . driving conditions that many people confront every day.
The Tesla works UNLESS you have to drive more than a couple of hundred miles and there is no place to recharge. It's a great start, but a lot more development needs to happen before the average family of four leaves Ohio for a week's vacation at DisneyLand.

There are lots of charging stations, and more opening all the time. And very few trips are more than a couple of hundred miles anyway. It's obviously not the vehicle to use to take your family on a week-long vacation 2500 miles away.

Then again, neither is a Miata but no one bashes that car because it's no good for a family vacation.

Buy 3 Miatas for the price and take six people on vacation. AND they'll all have more fun than in a Tesla.
