New Tesla insanity

Tesla's are very, very popular in my next of the woods.

Interestingly, the biggest complaint is that if you drive them somewhat aggressively, the battery life/range per charge drops significantly -- substantially, more than the loss of mileage with an naturally aspirated engine driven in the same manner. Hence, most Tesla owners only use them as commuter cars, and are reluctant to take them on extended road trip -- even between LA and San Diego.

There are about 3 to 4 P85's in any given day in my rather tiny parking lot at work.
