Tesla's Model S electric car earns highest safety rating of any vehicle

It would be safe to assume that batteries will improve. And by 10 years when I'm needing to replace it I'll be able up upgrade to a rapid charging battery. But for now, I'm not driving 300 miles per day. So an overnight top-off on the battery is fine for my daily use. Plus I have a dinosaur sipping car for those long distance highway trips.

Yes 300 miles or even 300kms would do me fine atm.

The initial purchase price is the main barrier here. They are expecting a price in the range of $100k-200k AUD which at current exchange rate is $90k-180k USD.
