All I see is that early adopters who made a purchase are happy with it. That out of the way, if anything a 100k car with 250 odd mile range if you drive nicely simply proves the technology is not ready for the everyday driver.

Get to the point you can deliver 300 to 500 miles per charge at the same price point the average car purchase is at and call me. Its a rich man toy that you have to adapt to live with and don't even get me started on trip planning. I am not routing around my car's limitations.

p90D is 300 miles. You drive more than 300 miles in a row without needing to piss, eat or stretch your legs, do ya, buddy?

Geez, I can go more than 250 miles on my Harley that only has a six-gallon tank.
