Why I can't buy a Tesla

Electric is going to win the future of personal conveyance market. Electric motors have a superior torque curve vs internal combustion. Thus better performance. They are significantly more energy efficient. Thus lower operating costs. They has less maintenance requirements. Thus lower overall ownership costs. The only issue is range and battery costs. But that is where the next generation of battery technologies will render that short coming moot. Lithium is the best we have in the market today. Tomorrow? Solid State and hydrogen fuel cell technology will then render Lithium obsolete for large storage capacity needs.

Electric vehicles damn near won the choice award over 100 years ago. Today? It's no real contest. The only question? Which economies will lead in the new markets? We are late to the party. And there is really no value in pointing fingers. But we're not too late.
