    Do the gas-powered car companies realize yet how screwed they are?

        @paulg I can't imagine. On pace to sell 17+MM vehicles 2014. Best sellers-->trucks/SUVs. Seems unlikely they care abt small and/or alt fuel.

        @stevesi @paulg Agreed. I can't wait to see how the UX of the interactive systems in the gas equiv will evolve due to their influence though

        @stevesi @paulg yup. A core value from Tesla for consumers will be indirect. Competition from an outsider = new expectations for an industry

        @paulg @inetpro Do you know how simple it is to convert a "gas" car to electric? & once the AGW circus is over, people won't care anymore...

        @paulg a gas-powered self driving (or flying) car still trumps an electric car in my book.

        @bdickason @paulg like the ppl who said they would only use a phone with a physical keyboard. The market will phase out gas cars eventually
