    Ok I'm astonished you haven't run across it, there should be a franchise opportunity in Oz for these things. This is the only car I would spend serious money on, normally I have limited interest in cars, get from A to B in reasonable comfort is all. Tesla[^]

    100k($US) for a car that runs on lithium laptop batteries, has limited range, can't carry firewood, bicycles, bricks, lumber, and can't accommadate a rack for 30 odd 6.

        It died a number of years ago and I know the newer F-150's are NOTHING like the tanks they used to make. I need to buy a pickup for hauling stuff; I scan for them in the classifieds every so often. I drive a little Saturn for my 30 mile a day round trip to work. Still American and gets great mileage so I can't complain. I still feel more comfortable in a pickup. When I first bought the Saturn I felt so weird being that close to the ground!

        Seats 2, 3 in the middle in a pinch-just like a sports car, (except for the executive cab which seats 6), carries lots of pets, supplies, firewood, wood pellets, tools.

          I'll agree with you when an electric car can go 100mph and 500miles on a single refuel and carry a ton of firewood.

          100 mph... a legal speed limit? I can only dream. Until then, it's a moot point. 500 miles on a single refuel means that the range is 250 miles, correct? I believe the Tesla can do 220 miles so it's almost there. Unfortunately it takes a while for it to recharge and it can't carry a ton of anything. It's a start though.

                So someone decided you needed a univote for your green blasphemy. How often does a city dweller drive > 200k in one trip. Bycicles mabe, bricks NO, lumber duh and the 306 is illegal in Oz (if needed I bet I could rig a rack for it though). There are lots of $100k plus luxury cars around (just that I can't afford them).

                        Was'nt an option for the f150, but I hear the tesla has an option for a little green pussy, but that'll cost another $100k.

                            There is a Starbucks near the hardware store, I almost run over those little cars as they pull out onto highway from the Starbucks. Damn annoying, if they outlaw pickup trucks and talking on cell phones while driving, they should outlaw girly-men driving little battery powered cars holding a $5 double latte.

                                  You're pitiful, you don't even know your own History - The author of that quote is former Defense Secretary James Schlesinger, on Fox News. A real Patton's quote is, about General Philippe Leclerc commanding the 2ème Division blindée (2nd Armoured Division): "Leclerc came in very much excited. He said, among other things, that if he were not allowed to advance on Paris, he would resign. I told him in my best French that he was a baby and said I had left him in the most dangerous place on the front. We parted friends"

                                      You're pitiful, you don't even know your own History - The author of that quote is former Defense Secretary James Schlesinger, on Fox News. A real Patton's quote is, about General Philippe Leclerc commanding the 2ème Division blindée (2nd Armoured Division): "Leclerc came in very much excited. He said, among other things, that if he were not allowed to advance on Paris, he would resign. I told him in my best French that he was a baby and said I had left him in the most dangerous place on the front. We parted friends"

                                      No, it isn't. It's possible I suppose that Schlesinger quoted Patton and did not attribute the quote, but every - count 'em, every on line attribution I could find (1,820) says that the line is Patton's. I'd be careful about who you call pathetic, in the future. My favorite quote on this subject comes from Gen. H. Norman Schwartzkopf: "Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without your accordion."

                                        I'm neither poor, nor little. You, on the other hand, are French.

                                          If google says it it must be true then... that's how a lie told many times becomes a truth. When did he say that sentence? Where? Who was he talking too?
