As I commented recently on another forum. I can drive my Hemi powered truck about 400 miles, stop for gas, get a snack, take a bathroom break and be back on the road for another 400 miles in 15 minutes or less. Until electric cars can do that, they are not practical for the large majority of folks that don't live in an urban setting.

And as another poster pointed out (on another forum), if everyone with an internal combustion car woke up tomorrow and had a new Tesla in the driveway for free, there is simply not enough generating capacity available now or in the near future to charge all of them. This is just one of the 800 lb gorillas that none of the electric advocates want to discuss.

As to outright performance, I will concede that to electrics. 100% torque at zero rpm is hard to argue with. As to the aesthetics (IE no sound), no thank you, unless you just want to run over a lot of blind people and children. BTW - that was sarcasm. I have no desire to harm blind people or children.

Sorry for the hijack.
