I'm still waiting for someone to invent a Robust CVT to mate with high-performance electric motors. They can stay in their lower revs and maintain better power/torque-delivery.

Oh...and btw -- the Roadster will never reach the advertised range if you put A/C on, or lights, or radio, or even accelerate faster than their conservative tests.

The Industry IS moving this direction...the fact Tesla exists supports that idea. But pure-electrics have a looooong way to go before they're viable.
