How far do you think you can go in a gas fired car with a comparable 0-60? Especially when the new tranny will get the Tesla down to 4 seconds. With your foot in those hot cars you'll not get 10 mpg. They rate them higher, and if you drive like grandma you might get close to the EPA rating. Most have small tanks, except for a Vet. They have an 18 gallon tank. Keeping your foot in it, lets say you manage to stay at 10 mpg, that is a range of 180 miles running it dry. An Elise depending upon the exact one may have a tank as big as 10.8 gallons. The range on that with your foot in it? You charge the Tesla for about $3.00 OR $4.00, you'd put $60.00 of gas in that Vet at the price I just paid for premium.
