First up I will say that throwing insults around at those who like motorsport is counter productive. I like motorsport, though contrary to much public opinion I am not the least bit fond of drags (Street or otherwise) street drifting, burnouts or V8 Supercars, I don't eat babies either. I can see that if I want to keep doing it what I drive is going to have to change, or at least how it is motivated will. I am already thinking on that though I expect that it will be at least a decade before the sanctioning bodies in Australia get their heads around batteries as an energy store.
All of that said, I have a 140km round trip commute and I reckon we are one generation away from an affordable EV that will be practicable for me to use for it. The Nissan Leaf would almost do at a pinch in the generation just now released but it would have to be charged every night or I would not get the next day out of it. If I lived in the city it would be a no brainer commuter car right now.
I love Teslas, though I think the CEO keeps making rather a twit of himself, though I have my doubts about the long term future of the company. The model S P100D was exactly what was required to show the world that the G-Wiz was not the future of motoring, that a car you might actually look forward to driving was still in the frame.
