Power to weight ratio is pretty great, no? The acceleration times in the usable speed ranges seems to imply that, at least. I agree that the cost is on the high side, but in terms of utility, it seems pretty great - excellent cargo space, optional 7 seats in a small car for when you really need to carry a couple more, panoramic glass roof. And in terms of charging time, for anyone with the ability to charge at hom, I expect that the lifetime sum of total time spent waiting for a charge will be a good bit lower than time spent navigating to and sitting at gas stations, since you’re not waiting for it while it’s charging overnight.
