It's lovely, actually!

And out here it is tax free, road toll free, free ferries (a huge deal here in Norway) and workplaces let you charge them up during the day for free.

Battry packs are leasable as an option so that you never have to worry about them 'bricking'.

There's a massive waiting list for them in Norway, Elon Musk (or whatever he's called) personalyl visited the Oslo dealer to thank them for their sales, but they wouldn't shift a single one if IC engined stuff wasn't so horrendously over-taxed in Norway IMO.
A lot of folks here embrace the whole environmental deal though, so they want to 'seem' as if they are helping the planet. An excess of cash helps though!

But, yes, ic engine cars are terrible here. 2 years ago I paid £21,000 for a 2007 Audi A4 19tdi!!!!
