Good for A. Gore! I hope he makes a great return on his investment...or should I say taxpayers' investments...

Gore-Backed Car Firm Gets Large U.S. Loan - WSJ.com

Quote:
A tiny car company backed by former Vice President A Gore has just gotten a $529 million U.S. government loan to help build a hybrid sports car in Finland that will sell for about $89,000.

The award this week to California startup Fisker Automotive Inc. follows a $465 million government loan to Tesla Motors Inc., purveyors of a $109,000 British-built electric Roadster. Tesla is a California startup focusing on all-electric vehicles, with a number of celebrity endorsements that is backed by investors that have contributed to Democratic campaigns.

Yes, Fisker and Tesla... real no-names in the e-car industry.

But you're cool with Algore getting taxpayer money for his business ventures. I get it now.

They also break record when you have to service them...they break the records of draining your bank account down.

That is nice, I support job creation here in America.

Personally, if I cannot work on it with my tool box, I won't buy it. I enjoy the dark arts of do it yourself car mechanics. But that's me.

With other people's money. Try investing your own money for a change.

Based upon your extensive ownership experience?

So far, it's too early to make any determinations of the reliability and cost of maintenance. Recently, Tesla found problems with the transmission systems of the Roadster, which were unable to handle the torque from the electric engines.

The solution? Replace the transmissions of all current Roadsters free of charge.

Tesla is also instituting mobile service plans, which would allow technicians to come to the car and provide proper maintenance.

We shouldn't be so quick to judge.
