Gav, I'm not sure where they still have a long way to go. Sure, you can't drive from Brisbane to Sydney on one charge, but what percentage of cars would truly do that anymore?

The guy who has put the 800 cubic inch motor into my old Chevelle has bought a couple of Teslas. His wife and kid convinced him to get the tree hugging cars to offset the Chevelle!
The P85D (the all wheel drive one with "insane mode") is great fun to drive in. It rides really well, especially considering the 21" wheels. It gets from 0-140 incredibly quickly. It has near enough to 500km range and can be fully charged overnight. The technology in it is amazing and they're a pretty classy looking car.

The range will continue to improve and the prices will come down with technology, but I think what they're offering for the money seems pretty reasonable compared to any electric, fuel or diesel competitors.

I love a rowdy V8 and always will, but I'd very happily own a Tesla.
