People don't think about the fact that you'll start off every morning with a "full tank." The 80kW ModelS has a range of 250 miles, what % of your trips are more than that?


If you're driving 500 miles a day two days in a row to cover a total of 1000 miles, can the early adopters really expect to find a suitable 240 V, 30-50 A charging station at their hotel, or are they going to resort to stopping at a supercharger and not charging at the hotel?


Today, when faced with that decision, you will drive your second gasoline powered car.

This isn't either/or.
