I also do not found diesel too much. Although,  I have to admit that my family car/daily driver is power diesel caravan.

Just...German car industry invested a lot into diesel engine development.  Diesel as a fuel is cheaper in most EU then gasoline. 

And there is fuel consumption after all. With my family car you can drive from Hambourg to Firenza with single tank of fuel. Can you do that with eco friendly Tesla? Of course not.

Electrical cars are nice for city commuting and short trips. More then that? No, with current state of development.  I tried e-Golf VII and like it very much for city driving. But, only for city driving.
