Yes quite. When I bought my +8, I didn't look at a bicycle made of vegetables as an alternative. Same with the Tesla. It's a car. The fact that it doesn't put out fumes when I'm in London is mildly interesting - but it's not why people buy them, or any car.

It will be the last option for us as we don't commute (as you do) and hydrogen however would interest us in due course.
In the meantime the Plus 8 and Polo GTI will do us nicely thank you as they fulfil all our needs and the Ford tractor is the shopping cart with £30 RFL.
