[QUOTE=elfbarf;48605010]Or you're someone who wants to go on vacation without having to fly and rent a car, which (especially for a family with children) tends to be far more expensive. Especially if your destination is only a few hours away, like when I go to visit relatives in Pennsylvania (driving from southeast Virginia). If I was able to drive that far in an electric car, I'd potentially be a bit screwed once I arrived unless my destination had somewhere I could plug in and charge (if at all, not even taking into account in a reasonable amount of time).

I live in a fairly populous area, but for example, when I fly internationally (which I've done several times in the last year, as I'm in a very long distance relationship) I have to drive 185 miles to Washington DC unless I want to pay considerably higher fares and face long layovers. While a $70,000 Tesla can handle that (though it's potentially cutting it close), a Nissan Leaf cannot. At this point we don't know what the range of the Model 3 will be, but I'd be surprised if it was any better than 200 miles unless Tesla has found a way to lower production costs.

For a person (or family) with a single car they present potential issues that are only really solved by having a second car. If you have access to an alternative gas vehicle, then they're potentially a strong (though still very cost prohibitive) option.[/QUOTE]

and go to Virginia, you'd have absolutely no difficulty getting to Penn.

I've noticed a lot more in nicer parking garages they've got EV only parking spots with complimentary power plugs.

The model 3 might not compete with a ford focus in the US, but it will in Denmark (assuming they extend the provision of e-vehicles having no registration fee). Hell, I see at least 2-3 Tesla S's a day around where I live. Meanwhile i hardly ever see entry level jaguars and the like.
