But, unlike a niche sports car, Teslas are meant to be everyday cars. Personally, I guess i'm still in the "i dont' quite get it" camp but I'm not a die-hard EV enthusiast and view traditional products from other brands as viable alternatives. If, as JST said in another thread, other cars seem like Stanley Steamers in comparison, I suppose there's no real alternative. Plus, no one else has yet replicated Tesla's high speed charging network.
This article does a nice job of explaining the tesla phenomenon i think
