I went to a Telsa "dealer" (in a mall,no less) the other day and talked to the salesman.More than $80K for a car that,under *ideal* conditions,can go 300 miles between charges.Ideal meaning no traffic...55mph...no a/c...no heat...no hills.And a full charge using 110v takes 22 hours...using 220v it takes 9 hours.

My diesel has a range of 800 miles at a steady 70mph and takes about 5 minutes to fully "recharge" at any one of about 50,000 "charging stations" in the country.And it cost much,*much* less than $80K.

My buddy’s daughter has a Tesla. Nearest dealer is 150 miles away in Chicago so they truck it to your door.

It’s a beautiful car but very expensive as you say.
Rippin’ fast on accel, 0-60 in 4 secs, dusted off his Corvette for as long as we were brave (stupid?) enough to race.

She gets free “juice” at work so that might help her financials a bit. But she’s already squabbling with the Volt owners over who gets the plug-in every day LOL.
