Apparently Tesla just got an additional $40 million of investment so they can start churning out those Roadsters at full speed and even continue work on Model S. Should be exciting with the Karma, Model S, Volt, all coming out in similar time frames.

I know the speculative photo of Road & Track doesn't represent Model S at all, but I think it looks tons better than the Karma (given the mustache, without it I might reconsider):

It seems the Tesla gets more of the democratic segment due to it's being completely electric. Republicans seem to favor the Fisker due to it's ability to hold 3 more people to brag about your car to in. Independants are undecided, some citing neither candidates dedication to 1 issue.

Those who aren't voting cite not giving a damn about either candidate or having the money to buy either. They also tend not to give a damn about who sees them in the vehicles.

At this junction it is too close to call. We'll have to wait until the poll's close. This one will come down to the wire folks.

Fisker came up with a uniquely styled sedan rather than just a revamped Elise. And the Fisker concept I saw at the Detroit Auto Show was very nice looking. If you're going to rework my Elise then give me the Rinspeed Squba, thank you.

Now, I really hope they're able to make more than just promises, like maybe some saleable vehicles.
