Where are the stats that matter? A car's goodness these days is measured by one figure and one figure only: its Nürburgring single-lap time. What is this car's?
You know Dodge knows this too. They field an actual performance car, and look what they had to do to get a good 'Ring time. Over half a ton of downforce!
LOL How's the Tesla?Jurassic car....that things a dinosaur, from a time long past....

This intrigued me because I have believed for years that the true sign of a vehicle tech coming mature is oits use in commercial/utility vehicles. I have held the 40-ton long-haul semi as the touchstone for electric. i was so stoked, and then ...Tesla semi truck to debut in Sep.....pickup truck in 18-24 months...

I didn't see a semi but a small, urban-use box van. Cheaters.
Once there ARE electric semis, only THEN will I concede that electrics are the next big thing. How would you keep an electric semi running on a diesel-competitive schedule? The issue I see is frequency of charging and time lost doing so, even when e-fill stations are in place. There is tech and infrastructure that still needs to be built before electrics are more than a niche product ... for folks who never get more than half a charge from their home charging station. That does not describe me, so I remain with fueled vehicles for now.

Yup ... I drive longer distances so an electric makes no sense for me at this time. I would love to see a prototype electric semi-trailer truck. That'll help draw me into the new paradigm, if that is what it will prove to be.I'm an early adapter...
As for the pickup ... make mine the longbed dually with a kingpin for the 5th wheel. Now tell me how long it'll take me to cross from LA to NYC ... with such a rig.
It is a smaller-scale version of the semi-truck problem imo.

335 miles is pretty long range, that's about 5hrs behind the wheel. I would need a 20min brake before getting back in the saddle...... just enough time for a quick recharge at a Tesla charging station.

Nice! My favorite long trip is 310 miles each direction. I'd need a Tesla charging station in East Buttfuck and then I'll be good to hop on board.http://insideevs.com/tesla-model-s-100d-gets-epa-rating-335-miles/

one of the reason Tesla has yet to return a profit is because they are installing charging stations at a blistering pace. They are doubling charging stations every 90 days.
