My diesel,which cost a lot less than the Tesla's $80K,has a range (on the highway) of about 800 miles at 70mph (40mpg-21 gallon tank),superior to the Tesla's 300 miles (at 55mph).My diesel can be "recharged" in about 5 minutes at any one of 30,000 "recharging" stations nationwide as opposed to the Tesla's 10 hours at any one of dozens of stations.

And I would choose a Tesla why?

“And I would choose a Tesla why?”

One possible reason would be that it would smoke your diesel performance-wise. :-)

For me, having a nuclear powered car would be a factor - but in fact my next purchase will likely be a diesel as well. However, all of us freedom loving conservatives support more freedom of choice as well, I’m sure.

There, fixed that for you.

Read the part about "superchargers".

If you install a 240 volt circuit in your garage, a full 300 mile charge takes five hours. Unless you sleep less than that, it shouldn't be a problem.
