I'd be careful who you call ignorant.
Take a look at MPG, and HP/liter. Until battery technology (combined with energy cost) is at the point where range and cost is no longer an issue for anyone, the internal combustion engine will be prevalent.
It's not too long ago that a sub 5 second car was a supercar, and 30mpg was out of this world.

This is such a weighted topic. We all know the petrol lobbyist have special interest in seeing petrol controlling the market. Its quite an undertaking but Elon is working pretty well with what he has. Im certain BMW et al has done some reverse engineering on Elons technology. |
I am a huge fan of what he is trying to do. I am all for electric cars (I almost bought an eGolf when I sold my M4.
You assuming I am some petrol fan boy is laughable. Unfortunately I have a 30 mile each way commute and I regularly go on 400mile + road trips so there just wasn't one for me.
Also it's a shame that Tesla can't take a page from SpaceX's book... the companies are MILES apart in terms of operation and efficiency.
