Desperation to finally get moving again? Who in their right mind could relish multiple one-hour-stops to travel a mere few hundred miles, which could easily be done on one single tank filling of liquid fuel?
Clarkson of criticized Top Gear drove a heavy BMW A8 4-litre-V8 turbo diesel sedan from London to Edinburgh -and back!- on a single tank of fuel! 800 miles!
Well, at least Mr. Tesla has confirmed in his own writing that his cars are nothing else but toys for the idle rich (not that there's anything wrong, per se, with toys or the idle rich). Those who can afford to have Jeeves follow them in a real car to drive when the juice runs out...
I’m thinking I could build a 10hp electric Suburban/Econoline full of nearly spent/rejuvenated Pb-acid batteries to take my dog and me the 1 mile over and 1 mile back from the park for our morning jaunts. It’d be fun - coasting is just about as good as regenerative braking, if you have the time.
Audi A8, of course. Don't know what made me type BMW.
