I saw a great youtube video a while back where a family of four took a skiing trip in their tesla. They were wearing coats in the car because the heater takes a lot of battery power. There were other challenges too.
I see Teslas as great for situations where you do shopping trips, a short commute, or otherwise use your car within an “urban driving distance” and have lots of free recharge stations.
But I don’t see it as a real car. It’s more like a glorified golf cart. I say that as a person that enjoys road trips and has a 150 mile round trip commute.
It’s a great fourth car for a rich guy.

$35,000-$44,000 is kind of expensive for an urban-only car that’s extremely uncomfortable in hot summers and brutal winters experienced by most of the regions of our country ...
Add a propane heater! I remember seeing propane refrigerators too. Wait, why don't we just skip the battery and just use propane or natural gas. Or gasoline.
What a joke battery powered cars are.
Batteries are very temperature dependent.
A cold battery will discharge at a lower level than when warm.
Ecars are ok for light urban driving. They will not work for long distance.
