Kind of crazy that for the price of just a new battery, you could get a lower class Audi or BMW. Really put the overall "electric" technology in perspective for me.

For $30k, you could get a new Nissan Leaf with ~100 mile range, comparable to the Roadster. For this reason, I don't think your comparison is apt.

But yes, $40k is a lot of money and there are many options--including electric drive.
