The specs say it all, Tesla.

I finally had a chance to see the Tesla models up close, the store around here is just too far to bother, but I happened by a Tesla store in Shanghai of all places a few weeks ago and spent some time in there. I'm still thinking that's my path in a couple more years, let my RX wear out a bit more. They also had a couple of Jag iPace electric SUVs on display in a nearby mall. They looked really nice too, but I guess they better for the cost. I was really surprised how many electric and plug-in hybrids were on the road in Shanghai. I go every few years and last time I went I noticed all the electric scooters from my previous trip, this time its the cars (I think gas scooters are completely banned now within the city). They have to though, the pollution is quite a bit better than my previous trips, but still noticeably worse than my own area. I ended up taking several rides in various models (Local brands, not sure which) just catching rides and they were really nice cars, very similar in style and electronic experience as a Tesla with a sophisticated dash along with a huge central display screen. It will be interesting to see how Tesla fares once their new factory comes online in China, given the incredible progress I saw with the local brands. One of my work colleagues with me on the trip drives a Nissan Leaf, and has been looking for an upgrade, he was drooling.

 

But that is not a machine .. unless you can say electric fans are machines,

I know that is the future but we are still some years away from majority of vehicles to be electric.

Completely not interested in electric. I drove 400 miles yesterday and I do that quite frequently.

 

Your point being? Too cheap to operate?
Joking aside, we've taken it across the country and back with little to no drawback compared to a gas engine.
And it drives itself, so road trips are not as tiring.

 

Salim, that's one quick electric fan. My Audi S4 can barely keep up with it.
Hybrids are just a stepping stone. Technically, we're there now.

 

When charging stations are A LOT easier to find, I'll be interested after the price comes down. I already struggle making sure my garmin, video camera, lights, and Di2 batteries are charged and ready for every ride. LOL!

 

They're not hard to find:

That was an eye opener for me last year - infrastructure is already in place.
Prices have dropped this month, in preparation for Model Y. Essentially cheaper than what we paid for our RXh.
Charging is easy. I got to go to a gas station tonight to fill my Audi. It's a hassle now - so much simpler to plug in at home.
