And you don't need a 400 mile range. When the hell do you drive 400 miles without stopping with your gas engine?
We have doctors in KC that we go to several times a year. It also gives us the opportunity to make a Costco run at the same time. For us it is a 300 mile round trip that we can do on one tank, if need be. But we normally stop and top off when we down to 1/4 of a tank left. So I mentioned the 400 mile range since those range numbers vary greatly and could make the 300 miles easily. Once they get the charging done in less than an hour and one can just pull up and plug without waiting, then it could be a go. And for me ground clearance is an issue. Low slung cars won't make it into or out of my drive.

The Model S can be adjusted up to 8" of ground clearance.

As far as charging stations, they're freaking everywhere, or so it seems.
215 mile seems very good to me as well. As I understand they are going to get a bit less range when stuck in traffic but nothing that would cause any concern in big city. Only time I could see it being an issue is a road trip and most families would have a standard vehicle they could use for that. Otherwise just get a rental which is what I always do anyway when driving out of town.

The no grille part of the design looks a little off. Obviously there is no need for one but it looks more like smooth plastic was put in place of one vs. blending it into the design.

I can really appreciate what all this research by all the vendors is doing. While Tesla is the current high-end market, all this research, by all the vendors, is taking all of us towards the future.

Once the reliability gap is reduced, I'd love to have one (even if just a Chevy Volt).

And like my phone that I have NFC chargers setup for, I'd love to see more NFC technology help bridge the umbilical gap. Start at home (in the garage), to parking lots (prolly at work), to perhaps intersections/stop lights if/when 30-60 seconds could offer a material amount of charge (in the super-green cities).

Right, but you do stop on those trips - once at the doc, once at Costco, and once to top up. The supercharger for the tesla recharges in minutes.

There are also electric parking spots in garages where you can top up while you're on your errands. I don't know if the doc has one or Costco, but I imagine they are coming soon if they don't.
