Well also don't forget that a Prius still burns fossil fuels to run. The Teslas aren't just shinier versions of hybrids.

There's been a plug-in version of it since 2012. Sure it has only 25 miles range on batteries, but that's enough for most people's commute, and they won't have to get out the slide rule when they visit grandma over the weekend.

(Also, 99% of electric cars also mostly burn fossil fuels - the exception being the ones deployed in Iceland, Norway and France, where fossil fuels are being phased out.)
