Just like those “unstable” hydrogen fuel cells exploding in the latest James Bond movie, we can expect the jokes about future energy sources to continue. Unfortunately, we can also expect some people to believe that buying an electric vehicle will actually endanger their lives. Probably the same people who believe Stephen Colbert is a serious conservative television host.

Using your "logic" we should all ignore the facts, and since Jay Leno writes about automobiles for "Octane", "Popular Mechanics", and the "Sunday London Times", we should lump him in with Autoweek, (the "ungreen" publication?!) Autoweek wrote a fairly well-rounded article, considering that those who made the movie have never worked in the automotive industry!!! Time to take off those blinders and look around to see how you've been duped by the vidiots who made that box office bomb! HUGE differences exist between Leno and Letterman. Visit the Leno link that was previously included. Letterman isn't even in the same league as Leno when it comes to knowing about cars... Erin,

He is an idiot "has been". Please take him off of the air. David Letterman should retire because he no longer entertains the great majority of the viewing public.

He is an idiot “has been”.

What do you EXPECT them to say? It's AUTO week - about the most ungreen publication there is. Of course they're going to be down on the film and on Michael Moore. They support the AUTO industry Duh... Also Leno has Musk on HIS show too and rides in the Tesla. SO what's the diff? there isn't any. I think Auto industry dude supporter would be a better name. Namaste E Hey Eco Dude,

He was just being over the top, playing to his audience, making people laugh, Elon Musk included!!! You bet the Model S is going to get built, and lots of'em... what people don't seem to understand is that Tesla's access to capital is pretty much unlimited since it's being supported by all the Internet billionaires who want to save the world. Tesla is an America company, Made in the USA. It's a class act. It's what GM should have done 20 years ago if they hadn't become slaves to dues collecting Union boses and criminal oil companies. At least GM had the good sense not to name the Volt the Edison! If GM is still around to make the Volt, maybe the US military will finally get their Hybrid Hummer, which they've been waiting for since 1997 when the prototype was introduced!

If so, perhaps you need to read this: http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060619/FREE/60608004&SearchID=73249864019256 With that out of the way, Letterman did everyone a disservice, as well as the extremely desperate, misleading, and erroneous Elon Musk putting this "Concept" car on national TV. Does anyone seriously think that Tesla is going to thrive?! You would be an absolute fool to put any money into that company if you've been following the news. If you did get suckered into believing that anything from Tesla will actually be mass-produced, you should do your homework. Tesla wants to be bought out by a major automaker - that is common knowledge.

I do think Letterman is on the side of hybrid/electric cars, its just that he he's stating how ludicrous things are because they've been around for so long, yet the technology is still miles behind where it should, thanks to the oil and big car companies stifling the growth of the electric car industry.
