Tesla is still a toy though. Even with all its, any luxury car is a better value. When there are alternatives or the next gen battery hits the market, not just a slightly better version of what Tesla has but a carbon-iron or carbon anything, then a long range electric has real value. Out in Arizona at 80mph or slightly more average in 100-115 degree weather and even hotter on the open highway, with air-conditioning, I’d be surprised to see their biggest battery last 200 miles.

Being able to drive 3-4 hours and not be stuck for 8 is better. Once they get more charging stations (at least in major cities, come on!) I can see it being available to way more people.
