Here in the SF Bay Area ( just a dozen miles or so from the Tesla Plant) Teslas are like a$$holes, everybody has one. They are the Silicon Valley/SF power leaders badge of correct environmental thinking. And I guess when your commutes are well within the range of the battery pack, they are good transportation.
But when you take a real look at the genesis of the energy they consume, they are simply not an environmentally proper solution, since a big percentage of electricity here is produced by fossil fueled power plants. Plus you will note that Musk is building his mega battery plant outside Reno, NV so he can get a pass on the emissions that plant will be giving off.
