[NorthCarolina]

7. I would bet

[KarenS]

[Duval]

[JeffHead]

5. Now that is a bumper sticker!

And a Tesla too very nice.

Go Bernie!

[Bjorn Against]

6. That is my dream car

It should be pointed out that what you see in those top photos is not a gas pump, it is an electric charger. The car is a Tesla, it is entirely battery powered and creates zero emissions. The car not only looks great but is also the best car in the world in terms of engineering.

[Snotcicles]

8. One of the big rating company's just rated it best car ever, I do believe. nt

[Bjorn Against]

11. Yes, that was Consumer Reports

[pink-o]

20. They gave the Tesla a score of 103...

...out of 100! Damn, I wish I could afford one. I hate cars, but they are sexy.

[valerief]

9. The best car and the best candidate. nt

[senz]

19. +100 yes indeed! nt

[silverweb]

25. Me, too!

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I ditched the car in '07 and haven't missed it, living in the city and all. However, if I ever decided to get a car again, I'd want a Tesla!


[font color="purple"]Go, Bernie!
Ride the purple wave and join The Purple Revolution!

27. Oh yeah that is the same car.

Cool

[Thespian2]

12. Ab-so-lutely Fabulous!!!

Yes, Tesla is the car of the future...if America has one...

Beautiful car...wonderful candidate!!!!!!!!

[passiveporcupine]

13. I want this car!

Will there ever be a Tesla model for poor people? I would love to have one.

[libdem4life]

15. Maybe a few of us could go in together and share the cost and the car.

A bit tricky, I know, but it's the only way I'll get to drive one. Oh well, it's a Toyota for now...best I could come up with.

[Bjorn Against]

22. They are supposed to reveal a $35k Tesla model next year

While that is still by no means cheap, it does make it affordable to some middle class families. Hopefully the price of them will continue to drop so it can get to the level I could afford.

[libdem4life]

23. That's great. If they offer some kind of super financing and keep

the payment down, it is much more affordable. I know it's coming...and even the knuckledragging of the carbon producers will ultimately shift. I hope it's in my life/driving time.

[glinda]

28. Great! How they judged high and it is actually cheaper.

[azmom]

16. Loving it

[MerryBlooms]

17. Beaut!

[leftcoastmountains]

31. Oh fuck yeah a Tesla. Driver gona feel the Bern.

[47of74]

32. Oh that is awesome!

Bernie couldn't have picked a better car!

[jtuck004]

33. What is that, $130,000 plus the decal wrap? Only Trump could afford one, him

and his 1% buddies.

Back in the early part of the last century the IWW, the union that couldn't be bought, was sending members across the country to negotiate with people in D.C.

The AFL folks used the same transportation as the business owners. The IWW folks caught trains and hitchhiked. When some members suggested that they should spend more money on their rep's travel, it was pointed out to them that these working people, who wouldn't be caught dead riding in the same luxury as their opponent while their brothers and sisters were dying because of that same business owner's policies.

As it turns out, they negotiated just as well as their fat cat corporate brethren. And with a lot more conviction. In the end it wasn't enough, as more people took a little money to quit fighting. The business owners allied with the government and the AFL against them, jailing and murdering many, and associating many with socialism and communism to hurt them with the public. It did. And when they quit fighting, they lost.

But it was because they quit fighting. Not because they didn't take the corporate money.

I do wish he was riding around in a hand-built recycled S-10 that had the gas motor changed for batteries and an electric motor. That would start a great conversation about why the rest of us can only afford batteries that only take us 40 miles.

Even so...

I'm glad our future President Sanders doesn't have to walk.

[Senator Tankerbell]

36. I don't think this is Bernie's car

I believe it belongs to a supporter. I don't think it's part of the campaign. I could be wrong.

[jtuck004]

37. You are no doubt correct. <G> I was just taking my pony out for a walk. n/t

[d_legendary1]

34. That's a bad ass ride!

Love the rear windshield sticker!

[Blue Owl]

35. It's fueled by Money Party hatred

n/t

[Dont call me Shirley]

38. Raffle a Bernie Tesla! That would be a great fundraiser!

Does anyone know if the Tesla Co endorses Bernie?

[sabrina 1]

39. Love it!
