Why would you want to use super expensive lithium batteries?
Lead acid is cheaper and they can be recycled (unlike lithium).
Why not just go grid tie and save your self a few thousand dollars?

I'll be following this closely. Thanks you posting!

Don't bother. Like all of teslas products they are over priced toys for the rich.
If money is no object, then go for it.

Nope not even close.
Per kilowatt hour of production your car is far worse all around than all but the worse coal burning plants found in china.
Once you average in the states cleaner sources such as nuclear, wind power, hydro electric and natural gas, its no contest.
