@paulg less obsolete. More taxed to death.

@paulg @TeslaMotors made sure of that, not Bmw

@paulg well those are still hybrids/range extenders, so still partially powered by the internal combustion engine

@paulg @kcarruthers You should read the article.WITH internal combustion engines,hybrid.

@paulg @lessien maybe. absent clear regulation, I wouldn't extrapolate from premium BMW to the rest of the market

@paulg "make them far more aerodynamic"- hope that doesn't mean Prius ugly)

@paulg @rafmanji significant, but not what the article says. Hybrid cars still use combustion engines.

@paulg Plug-in hybrids have internal combustion engines, Paul.

@xecretcode @paulg what would u call T i3 then?

@paulg wonder if there are any applications left where it might remain the best source of power for a while? Planes? Boats? Extreme climate?
