RE: Tesla's Model S will go 300 miles and cost $77,400
I wince when I see the price of fuel bandied about by you chaps
on the west side of the pond... Over here, regular unleaded is
now at least ?1.30 a litre. That's ?6 a gallon, or (at the
current exchange rate) very nearly US$10. It's bad enough over
here that we rejoice when the price of a litre of fuel doesn't rise
every week.
Diesel is not ?1.35++ per litre, but the benefits of significantly
greater economy still mean it is popular.
I plan to move somewhere with a high number of hours of
sunshine. Solar power, stored for charging an electric car
overnight, will add to the significant up-front costs, but it makes
sense.
