FTFY.
There's one of these in EVERY discussion of something Tesla releases :-)
A typical weekend for me involves driving ~150 miles to leave my car in the cold and wet in the middle of nowhere for 8 to 9 hours while I wander around some mountains. Only 2 superchargers in the country and their not between where I live and where I go.
Is this unusual - absolutely (mind you plenty people here do similar things) - but range is an important factor to me. However, the main one is cost - absolutely no way will I spend more than £25K on a car.
Often these claims are made while saying that it's a normal requirement and that everyone has the same requirement, thus nobody will buy it.
Cost is an important factor. I think a lot of people already would like to buy one, if they're way cheaper (also way cheaper than £25k). I've seen articles about new battery tech which focusses on cost quite a bit. So hopefully the cost of a new electric car will continue to go down.
There's also a "law" somewhere which states that with every significant doubling of industry the cost will go down. It has to do with gaining more experience, not the usual "economies of scale".
Edit: I don't care about performance - my current car as a 1l engine and it is fine.
Still, I'm not going to pay way more money for a car that makes my days in the hills even longer! The cost aspect is by far the main reason I haven't bought an EV.
