Every time I go out for a Sunday drive in the 7 I do at least 100+ miles of spirited driving. When I worked on the Tesla story we did about 80 miles of spirited driving and the battery was nearly dead when we got back. So as a toy, it would be useless to me, and as a daily driver it would be fairly useless to me.

+1

as mopho knows it takes me at least 70miles just to meet up for a drive in LA, then another few miles or so of spirited driving LOL
bottom line is i wont get home in time for dinner LOL

for me as a toy it still wont work

for around town yea it will to do errands (small errands) and for $100K+
i think ill just buy a honda ruckus 100+mpg ~$2500

Hold on. Isn't the point to be seen in Hollywood with it?

So for that it's totally practical.

Hey I'm in Atlanta. And don't watch TV. lol. So I don't know who anyone is there anyway.

I'm sure the company knows their target demographic though, and at $109K + delivery and a big plug it isn't me over here in the N Ga mountains.

I'm off to hop on my even impracticaler ride- 50 MPG 1203 cc V-twin motorcycle. (current value- $4-6k?)
