I've driven the Tesla S once and it was a pleasure. I live in Western New York on the Canadian Boarder so the all wheel X5's seem to fit the bill nicely.

I need a half car, half tank type of vehicle.

Tesla-Audi-Volt electric vehicles- Since the advent of smart phones, and the enormous increase in distracted driving accidents/deaths over the last ten years, I have only purchased Suburbans/Yukon XLs as a hedge against these incidents. Yes they are cumbersome, but I feel much more secure. Thus is the only vehicle that works for me, and I wonder if a 400-500 mile range Suburban violates the laws of practicality...
