Why is Tesla so far ahead.
Discussion
Seems to me there's a real difference in range etc between Tesla and the rest of the bunch.
Is it just me, not really understanding the technology, or do the other manufacturers have a game of catchup on their hands.
If so does this mean delaying a purchase untill the V.2 models are released.
I liked the Ampera as my daily commute is 75 miles round trip, but it still didn't make sense and is now no longer available.
Tesla does it for me but not at that price.

MASSIVE batteries usually does the trick.Is it just me, not really understanding the technology, or do the other manufacturers have a game of catchup on their hands.

Because they think differently and are unconstrained by big lumbering incremental automotive legacy thinking. Is it just me, not really understanding the technology, or do the other manufacturers have a game of catchup on their hands.

lots of batteries = expensive.It's a sixty grand plus car which buys a lot of batteries.
Much though I like what Tesla are doing a lot of it is smoke and mirrors, there's nothing especially radical or different about their battery tech or design.
They went for a niche that the big manufacturers didn't think was there - in fact it's now clear that creating the car to fill the niche actually created the demand. Ballsy move.
Can they pull the same trick for 3-series money? That's the real question.
Also the new model X is goppingly ugly.
