Althea told me...........
I went to a show with a friend on Saturday night. He drove. He's leasing a Tesla SUV. I didn't ask what they cost, and the vehicle somehow avoided spontaneous combustion.
The power in this vehicle far surpasses any gas/diesel powered engine. When he stomped on the gas, I was pinned to the back of the seat. I've got a turbo in two of my vehicles, and whereas they are pretty strong after that initial 1 second delay, this electric system gives you instant response with an overwhelming amount of power.
He claims that a charge is good for almost 300 miles, but if you are going to show off its power to a passenger, that mileage will be greatly reduced.
He also said that he sees no marked increase in his electric bill, and that his central air conditioning hikes his bill a lot more.
There are 3 different settings that will give you different performance, as well as different mileage/charge.
What impressed me was the screen on the dash. Clearly, Space Karen is obsessed with rocket ships. The screen is bigger than my laptop screen, and the navigation system shows a (guessing) view from an airplane that is easily a 100 mile radius. It's very easy to understand where you are, and where your destination is.
I wouldn't buy an electric vehicle for myself, though. I would buy a hybrid, though, as realizing app. 40mpg average is fine for my needs.
I was, however, impressed both by the power, and the features in this vehicle
I'm guessing it's somewhere around $100k though, but I haven't checked
