Even the superchargers don't make it a feasible cross country road trip car though. The average car can give you 300+ miles range in a 5 minute gas stop, the supercharger gives you 170 miles range in a 30 minute stop. It really makes the most sense as a city car that you plug in at night.

I'd like to see Tesla take on a Volt style plug-in hybrid. I'm sure they could make a much more enjoyable package than GM.
