Time it. You will be surprised. 5 minutes. Gotta drive in, park, get out, gas cap off, swipe card, wait for authentication, select fuel, wait for beep, put hose in, pull trigger. Wait a couple of minutes, reverse all of the above, stand in rain, snow gas fumes, noise.
>From the moment you leave the street to being back on the street 5 minutes. And it costs you money! I charge with solar.

It's what, 2 minutes? If you travel >200 miles your time table is screwed as you need to charge. Your route also can't be the scenic one. It costs more than my current car which I have today and I doubt it comes close in terms of comfort. Oh and the auto pilot doesn't try to hit oncoming traffic. That's a nice upside!

If your daily trips are fairly short, you would only have to plug in once a week. There is nothing but upside here.

Even if it were 5 seconds that would be more time every two weeks than what I spend at a gas station. Then I have to pay for power anyway... Not a fan of the front end duck bill. The rear has too much Prius. Side looks great. Interior looked unfinished or space aged. 115k preorders for something you won't see in two years, though? Woof.

Yuck. I love the updates they do with the Model S and the API power is really awesome, but I'm more for NA over boost, let alone electric. I saw the website and thought "Who's going to preorder a car that won't be announced for another hour?".
