A few years ago now my neighbor bought a Prius. He died a few months later. It was decided that his wife should move to Florida to live with their daughter. I was asked to drive her down and fly back.
I have to admit the car drove just fine, easily went the speed limit and did not fail at all. It got right around 60 MPG on the trip. My motorcycle doesn't do quite that well.

I would rather spend the money on something that doesn't have to sit and charge overnight, so I could drive it again the next day.... The 'long range' version is about 60K........

Tesla vehicles have a minimum range of 250 miles on a battery charge. That's about three or four days of driving if used conservatively as a daily driver. You need to break out of your old ways and think different. I'd love to own a vehicle I could drive back and forth to work that I plug in each evening to stay topped off. The future is now, and we're living in a paradigm shift.

The semi or the roadster? I recently read Musk is proceeding with a hatchback for the Model Y (something many people have been demanding, myself included) and will follow with a pickup.

Do you hate the actual car, or do you hate the smug type who buys the car? They're good vehicles for a daily driver provided a majority of the driving is in the city. I know a guy who has a first gen Pruis (real estate agent) and he has close to 200K on it. He says it runs like a champ and he recently gutted the leather interior from a comparable Prius that was wrecked. It's like BMWs -- great cars but a majority of the owners are ******.

Here, here. You couldn't give me a twin turbo gas, mds gas, direct injection, emissions diesel, hybrid, or electric vehicle. Vehicles with real motors died in 2008. No one asked for them, no one needs them. Just more communism at work.
