Which is why I mentioned "partnerships" ...
In this country, if we're ever to truly rethink our source of energy and how we power vehicles, the commitment has to be a team effort, led with a fair degree of creativity and vision.
The Tesla is a very nice car with a very high price tag, relatively heavy weight, small range and an excited base of enthusiasts willing to be early adopters.
Right now for my purposes, the practical solution, if I were going plugin, would be to pick up a PI hybrid, like a Volt (no range issues) - then for local stuff - perhaps a Leaf. Best of both worlds for almost the cost of a Tesla.
