The Tesla model S is attractive but batteries are heavy. Granted the design places the batteries low to the ground on the frame but that's almost SUV weight. I have not had a chance to drive one yet so maybe I could be convinced on handling. But on economics: A $23,000 Verano that gets "almost 40 mpg" (according to Norm) or a $60,000+ Tesla with free electron fill-ups if you live near a Tesla super station? $37,000 could fuel the Verano for 18.5 years @ $2000/year for gas.
I think we are leaning more toward a Volvo when it is time.
