While I disagree with a lot of what the USG does, and certainly with some of the minutiae of the bailouts themselves, this boost is why we continue to have a relatively thriving auto industry today. It's awesome to see an upstart US company take on the foreign powerhouses and pretty much corner them on what might be the future of the luxury sports sedan.

Dunno. I am going to miss the dinner where they announce awards. I suspect it was IL or FL.

What happens if all those people need to "supercharge" their Teslas at the same time? You''ll need to sit through lunch, dinner and breakfast ...
