Not 100% true. The "rapid recharge" doesn't fully charge them. Only about 80%. That's about 30 minutes too. And the claimed 400-500 miles range is bogus too. More 300-400 in weather that doesn't require the heater to run and only requires the AC to run at a minimum. Get into warm weather or cold it severely cuts performance and range.
EV's accounted for about 330,000 new cars in the US last year. The hangup is the batteries. Right now about the only new thing is battery technology is using sulfur in place of lithium. No performance difference. Just that sulfur is cheaper.
Last year they sold just over 17 million new cars in the US.
To really put it into perspective they claim that there are 265 million or so vehicles in the US with 1.3 million being electric.
Now as far as cost? The price Tesla claims is at the end of 6 years deducting what they claim will be a 10,000 dollar savings in gas. So add 10K to that 32,500. That's what it will cost bare bones to get it in your driveway. Oh, by the way. Tesla isn't allowed to make those claims in some countries with higher gas prices than the us cause the countries claim that a driver won't save 10 K in gas.
In other words don't believe the hype! IMO Musk is nothing more than a con artist.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
