What I'd like to know before we digress too far is what the range is like?
Kin, iirc, the range was something like 300 miles when driven sedately; is this correct?
I like the concept when it comes to a daily commute but the limitation on range, without a charge, renders it useless for those who have to do long distances on a regular basis. I appreciate the Tesla are creating 'fast charge points' in certain locations but (a) you are limited to the charge network and (b) I don't want to wait around whilst my car is charging.
Hybrid makes more sense to me but even those figures are a load of waffle. BMW quote something stupid (over 100 mpg) for the i8 but when I had one on a 24-hour test drive, I struggled to get over 30 mpg when driven economically and the pure electric range was circa 15-miles. Coupled with the impractical doors and it was a damp squib.
