I'm thinking about ordering a Tesla Model S. I've never even been in an electric cars but they look pretty nice and have some pretty good get up in them. I love my current vehicle but I only get 15 mph.

Has anyone had an all electric car here?

I was just speaking to a lady I did some business with last week. She said she ordered the model S about 5 months ago and absolutely loves it. She didn't tell me how much she paid, but that she did have to wait about a year for them to build it after she put in the order. I don't know about other states, but in CA they give a $2,000 tax credit to anyone who buys a fully electric car and she said that pretty much covered the cost of the charging unit that had to be installed in her garage (something you obviously have consider). The other thing you have to think about is where your live, how far you drive to work and are there other charging stations in or around your city. The lady told me that she gets around 300 miles to the charge, so that should cover pretty much anyone on a daily commute. We have a lot of charging stations and parking meters where you can charge up around LA, so electric cars are popular around here, of course.

So far, I've heard nothing but good things about the new Teslas and they are great-looking cars. I'm excited for you if you decide to get one :0074

300 miles would cover me easily. I might drive 100 miles in 1 day twice a month. Most of the time I'm driving at most 20-30 miles a day and some days that might just be 4-5 miles. I'm going to look into them more but everything I've read has been good. I'll obviously still have my wifes vehicle so long trips won't be an issue.

I just hate putting 5k down for something I have to wait on. It would be a big difference going from a Range Rover to an electric car.
