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.
