I totally get it, and I think it's awesome.
It's just not for me. Yet.

Yep. I think its tougher for us East Coasters to justify at this point because:
-the supercharger network here isn't as developed -many of us live in apartments/cities where access to a charger you can use overnight isn't necessarily easy or cheap -The colder weather and its effect on range -The fact that some of us are able to use public transportation for our everyday commutes, so we tend to use cars for the longer range stuff (the scenarios that become more difficult with a Tesla). And I'm bummed that the superchargers are mostly along 95 right now. I hate that road (atleast every stretch i've had the misfortune to be on) and will often drive an additional 30 miles just to avoid it. I do happen to think its one of the coolest, prettiest cars under 100k though. If I had enough spare cash I might just say screw it and get it anyway. Which is why they are selling as many as they can produce. So reminder to other car companies (I'm looking at you BMW): design matters! |
