palenimbus:

There is no other cars in Tesla's segment. It's the only full size battery powered electric car.

The Tesla Model S is not a sports car, in fact while you see a lot of youtube videos showing off it's incredible acceleration it actually couldn't make it one lap around the n-ring at full speed without the batteries overheating. Would be more fair to criticize the drive dynamics of the Tesla roadster.

But 10 years from now fully electric cars will be the norm, combustion cars will probably be banned from many European city centres in the future, not just because of climate change concerns but because of localized air quality.

So you dinosaurs better start to get with the program indecision

Would you buy a car today for an eventuality which may (or may not) arise in 10 years time?
