well, I say enjoy this time in space where you get to sport around in a super-low cg car that has gobs of torque and gobs of
hope that one day it will be an affordable technology. (the masses apparently really like that stuff)
My guess is that NG is disruptive first. And that Tesla will slide into something other than a dominate car mfg. ...with a high likelihood of becoming something between Fiskar and DeLorean -some cool thinking, but too little for the long haul.
OTOH, maybe Musk will convince the govt to install long stretches of road that parallel the freeways, but are like a slot-car track with charging 'rails' .. and are electrified by cheap NG generators at each site. --who knows...
Time will tell, but change WILL happen (the battery tech just too expensive for big market penetration), so for now, enjoy what you have while you have it.
