So what does that have to do with Tesla?
A $100,000+ car that "runs out of gas" after 60 miles- but it gets there quick! does not seem smarter or more economical.
Now a diesel/electric hybrid covered in solar panels to partially top off the batteries while parked would be smarter and more economical. For the time being a simple VW TDI is both smarter and more economical- and you can actually go buy one- afford it even. And it will go 700 miles on a tank of fuel, at the end of which you can find another station. I'm not gonna run across a plug in the mountains if I fall for the illusion I'm gonna go have fun in the mountains in my Tesla electric sports car today.
