2) terrible resale value / battery life: "A survey of 80 European Model S owners has demonstrated that, on average, most Tesla Model S batteries seem to degrade only 5% after 30,000 miles (50,000 km). After that point, degradation appears to slow down, showing very little further degradation for the next 30,000 miles." [0] 4) Cars with computers: what are the alternatives? 7) Short pit-stops: 30 minutes for 170 miles at a supercharger, for free (estimated to cost Tesla around $2K over the lifetime of the vehicle). The company expects to reduce this to 10 minutes in the next few years. [1] 9) Car ownership: Good point. But the low cost of fuel and maintenance will accelerate the switch to EVs. This way, you might use them and we might even own them - provided that we launch local cooperative fleets to replace Uber. [0] http://electrek.co/2015/05/08/tesla-model-s-battery-degradat...
