Those people comparing the Model S with diesels/i3/leaf are missing the point, the Tesla S is in the same market at high performance V8 petrol saloons. Last time I checked my petrol BMW 335i (which is a lot slower than a Tesla S) can just about manage 300 miles on tank, at £80-90 a pop to fill up, and in 3 years of owner the longest one day trip I've done in it is <200 miles (We use the diesel Civic for long trips).
Cannot wait for the next generation of cars from Tesla (apparently 3-4 years away), I have no interest in things like the i3/Leaf or saving the planet. All I want is nice fast car that I justify owning which doesn't cost the earth to run, at the moment anything faster than my 335i I simply cannot justify purely based on increased petrol costs alone.....But electric/hybrid is the future of high performance motoring, 100% torque from 0 rpm, £6 to 'fill up', no road tax, and the wife will be happy because its 'economical' whats not to love
Once the Govt laiden up duty on them so that the effective cost per mile is no different to petrol/diesel as at the end of the day Tax revenue has to be sustainedCannot wait for the next generation of cars from Tesla (apparently 3-4 years away), I have no interest in things like the i3/Leaf or saving the planet.
