The range doesn't bother me, as 90% of the trips I take are within 100miles of home. I can plug it up each night. I guess hotels will probably have to issue extension cords at check in.

Will Tesla make a pickup truck model?

The electricity doesn't concern me too much if we move to more nuclear and less coal & oil burners. But then there's the whole radioactive waste issue.

The last company that I worked for was a power company, up until a recent purchase, the company was essentially 100% natural gas fired plants. They also had a large geothermal complex in Cali. Ey had no coal, and I'm pretty certain no oil. Most of the plants that were purchased last year were coil or oil, but I believe they have plans to convert them to natural gas.
