Yep, the Tesla is a looker and from what I’ve read is a real performer.

My son works with a guy who just bought an S Model, it was right at $90K and I can tell you I won’t be looking to buy one.

He told my son it’ll go 300 miles on a charge but I’ve read in reality it’s about 200 which still means you’re limited if you want to go any distance.

In fairness I guess anyone who can afford one can afford a second nice vehicle for longer runs.

Anyone with that $100k-range to spend on a car can get any number of models from any number of manufacturers that compare favorably to a Tesla.

Like most $100k cars, it’s a rich man’s toy.

Gorgeous car. Range will be an issue with any battery powered car until there is a technological breakthrough. TSLA is building the recharge stations between major cities that will recharge within 30 minutes while you grab a bite to eat. Personally I wouldn’t take a long drive in one. My wife has a big SUV for that. 99% of my driving is < 50 miles per day. Then again I don’t have a spare $100 large :-)
