When ya drive one of these, it feels like a rocket, except smoother.
Kudos to Tesla for making an electric car that actually looks like a car ... not another egg on wheels. Now if only they could make it affordable.
It is affordable, at least as much so as the equivilent size/performance BMW or Merc.
If you've got the high 6 figures to spend on a luxury performance vehicle a Tesla S costs about the same as a liquid hydrocarbon powered car. There might be the battery replacement down the road, but lower running costs until then pay for that.
Where EV vehicle economics fall down is at the level of the ordinary mass market car.
