 The reason everyone is crazy about this car is not because it is electric.  It is because this car far out performs every other car on the market.  Seeing is believing.  There is a reason that the car in a few short years has become the best selling luxury car on the planet.  there is a reason Angela Merkel has publicly stated that the German car industry has to double down and be more competitive with Tesla.  The car innovates in everything they do.From self holding breaks when you stop at a stop light, to down loading upgrades, to the best user interface by far, virtually no maintenance, to batteries that still have 95% of original range at 200,000 miles on average.  The list of greats is too long to list here.We just finished driving it from SF to IL and back (over 5,000 miles) and enjoyed every inch of the trip even without the free electricity.
