Have you driven one?
Until you do, you probably won’t understand. Plus a car that can have software features added simply from an over the air update is cool. I’d buy one if I was home enough to drive it and had the extra cash (kids are expensive!). *************************************************************************** Daniel White - Managing Director SAF North America LLC Cell: +1 (303) 746-3590 [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Skype: danieldwhite Social: LinkedIn <http://www.linkedin.com/in/danielwhite84> *************************************************************************** From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Josh Luthman Sent: Tuesday, May 5, 2015 10:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] This is going to make a great UPS What is a good reason to like a Tesla?

Go faster with a GTR. Look cooler with a Ferrari 360. Be more comfortable in a Jag XF (R?) Want better mileage on your electric car? Leaf or something of the sort.

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.
