Wow, great ideas and innovations are hardly ever destroyed by greed and ego! Seriously though, It is disappointing to see this at Tesla; a company I think shows(ed) much promise to move the world forward toward a world that could run fast and far without internal combustion.

This guy can rot, last week he was the moron spouting of Gas should really be $10 a gallon because it should pay taxes now to cover the environmental damage of emissions.

Not to mention at $10 a gallon for gas Tesla's overpriced electric cars would be easier to sell right?????

Of course if he were having to pay for the long term effects/disposal of the hundreds of tiny batteries in each one of his cars the company would really be in trouble.

Everyone who knows about Elon Musk and his erratic behavior over the past year and a half
is hardly surprised by this lawsuit. Musk can be dismissed as an amatuer automaker using slipshod parts tpo create what appears to be a very electrically unreliable concoction. With over 6700 flashlight
batteries, everyone who has ever dealt with small format batteries knows the problems with connectivity
reliability. Imagine trying to keep 6700 all connected. The Tesla is a clas action lawsuit waiting to happen. And happen it will. Tesla could also be accused of fraudulent advertising about the batteries, which they lead one to believe will last 10 years of normal driving, but which are guaranteed for only 3 years. So what gives? Where is Tesla telling the lie? And how much does it cost tio replace the battery pack 5 years from now? $30,000? $40,000.? Tesla ain't saying and thus is hiding a very important fact about their car. For all these and other reasons, I can see Tesla Corporation in court in the not too distant future. And they havn't got a prayer. Musk as a witness can be torn to shreds - using his own public statements and rants, which clearly show him to be an erratic type.

Lance - the lawsuit from Vespremi has not been dismissed. What is your source for this because they are mistaken.

I'm excited about electric cars news but tired of hearing about Tesla Motors- until they start producing cheaper models. For electric cars to be serious contenders, they need to be mid-priced economy vehicles that most households can by with tax incentives etc. According to new reports, up to 1/3 of cars buyers want to go electric- which would reduce oil dependency, green house emissions, foreign oil dependency, health care costs, and create jobs.
