If that is so, why can't I buy a viable electric vehicle now?

Well, you can, but you won't receive it for a while:

TESLA MOTORS NEWSLETTER
November 2007

WAIT LIST OPENED FOR 2009 MODEL YEAR TESLA ROADSTER
Tesla Motors has closed reservations for the 2008 model year Tesla
Roadster. We have logged more than 600 reservations on the books
and filled capacity for our first-year production run. Interest in
the Roadster remains high, and we appreciate all the enthusiasm
and support.

For those who would still like to purchase a Roadster, we have
opened a wait list for 2009 model year cars. Here's how it works:
Simply visit the Tesla Motors website and complete our wait list
form. A refundable $5,000 will hold your place in line. You may
pay with Master Card, Visa, Discovery, American Express, check, or
wire transfer.

Please keep in mind that we have not yet announced pricing for the
2009 model year car. We expect to be able to update you on
pricing, exterior colors, options, and accessories next year. Join
the wait list now at

CUSTOMER DRIVES
Our customer drive program continues -- nearly 90 customers have
now claimed some drive time in one of the prototype Roadsters.
Several customers, including Michael "Flea" Balzary of the Red Hot
Chili Peppers, have documented the drives on our blogs.

Find Michael's blog along with submissions from our other

LOS ANGELES AUTO SHOW, NOV. 16 TO 25
Tesla Motors will head out to Los Angeles for the annual LA Auto
Show on November 16 to 25. We'll have one of our second-generation
prototypes on display at the Yokohama booth, and we invite you to
stop by and see us.

It's a great opportunity to see the car up close and chat with
Tesla Motors employees. We hope to see you there.

The Chevrolet Volt is "coming" as well. I even saw a commercial about
it on TV the other night. AFAIK they aren't taking orders yet. Like
all the other "Revolutionary Vehicles" we'll see.
However, I won't hold my breath.
