    While it's not perfect now, it's still pretty good.

    Think of it this way: on average, most people drive about 50 miles a day(1). Given that Tesla has a range of about 250 miles, it meets most general driving requirements.

    An electric car probably won't be my first choice whenever I drive out of state on vacation, but that's pretty much 1% of my annual driving time. The other 99% is all in-town, driving to work, to the store, to the bar to get hammered, etc.

    And all of that 99% can be handled using an electric instead of a gasoline vehicle.

    (1) this assumes 15,291 total miles per year, divided by 300 days
