Yeah, but it's still cool that someone can drive across the country in a Tesla.

Shouldn't we get something like a 50% improvement in battery technology within 5 years? That should push it over the limit for most people.

Batteries have been improving at what, 6% per year? If that keeps up it will take 7 years to get 50% better.
