There is a Tesla "something" right next to my work. They receive several cars at a time. I can see them washing them, and ?..... They also drive them around all the time and it's winter here. In fact I passed one the other day on the freeway while it was pouring rain. I heard Tesla is opening up something big up here in portland?

Lithium batteries, lipos as there called in the RC world, have been mainstream for about 5 years now. Yes it's a different type of lithium, but shares the same qualities. Lipos totally changed the whole seen. I predicted several years back that we would see this technology in automobiles. We will also see lithium powered electric cars soon. 40% of the weight with the same output and capacity = a serious advancement.
