Any type of new technology starts at the top, and eventually trickles down to where the average joe could afford it. Having the government say to Tesla "here's money, go make a car that Joe can afford" wouldn't work economically. Just the base costs of raw materials puts cars like Tesla's out of many people's budgets at the moment. You could just say "Why not have Tesla sell them at a loss, then have the government give them a big sack of money to reimburse them?" Sounds like a good idea, right? Well, what happens when that "big sack of money" runs out? Prices are going to go back up. The reimbursement won't last long enough for the prices of raw materials go down. It only makes sense to bail out the "big three" automakers at this point because they're the ones that are making the cars that everyday people can afford. If this recession were to happen 5-15 years in the future when companies like Tesla were an active force in the market place, you could be sure they'd be getting a slice of that bailout pie.

Tesla Roaster: http://www.teslamotors.com/design/interior_colors.php They should have just let GM and the others die and supported new companies with smarter solutions (and sexier ones!). I really wanna test drive a Tesla Roadster but they cost $100k. Just imagine what could have been done, however, if the government gave companies like Tesla a big sack of cash and said "make an eco-friendly car that average people can afford." We'd actually be getting rid of gas-guzzlers and moving toward the future of eclectic vehicles a lot faster, 0-60 in 4 seconds faster.
