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.

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.

If you are a city dweller perhaps. But you didn't speak to the issue of how much a tesla can haul?

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.

“If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world but I am sure we would be getting reports from hell before breakfast.” William Tecumseh ShermanSo 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).

Got a small d*ck to got with those "extensions"?
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.

“If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world but I am sure we would be getting reports from hell before breakfast.” William Tecumseh ShermanYou'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."

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?

Lance Corporal Harley B. Veugenstein, September 10th, 1944. Omgoodness. I can't find an attribution to back it up my claim. Just as you can't find an attribution for Schlesinger. Don't bother. I did what you should have done. I checked.

If there are 1800 websites attributing it to Patton and none (in case you don't understand - that's the number of French war heroes in the 20th century) citing Schlesinger, I know who I'm betting on.

You won't be able to do it for a simple reason: It's a lie. the french-bashing crowd likes to repeat it again and again, it's still a lie. - When inspecting the 2ème DB, Patton asked to every soldier what was his favorite weapon. At the end of the day he made a speech saying that he was disappointed becayse he didn't get the answers he expected from French soldiers: the best weapon is the bayonnet, because when you use it it means it is planted in the body of your enemy ("La 2ème DB", Erwan Bergot, ISBN 2-7242-0867-6)

Misattributed by former Defense Secretary James Schlesinger on Fox News[^] I know you are intellectually dishonest, hateful and unable to reassess yourself: I have then no doubt about which version you will choose to believe.
