Tesla S Model...
Early technical review of the Citroen “Hybride” diesel-electric:

Yep ... lots of torque in that electric motor. Instant torque.
Ya seen the price of a new Porsche, a new Corvette..a Humvee etc, etc? And they take gasoline at 4+ dollars per gallon..
Do you have the money it takes for a new Porsche, Corvette, Humvee, etc?
Yeah, the S is a great car ... no doubt. The issue that Vet and I have is with the lack of an AFFORDABLE alternative other than the ugly as heck Leaf and it's ilk on the roadways. A car doesn't have to look stupid in order to be electric. Tesla proved that ... now all I'm asking for is for others to follow their lead. Make something stylish (doesn't have to perform as wonderfully as the S) that is electric, can go a long distance, is comfortable, and doesn't look stupid.
Hey, feel free to design and build one yourself and stop all the complaining.
