Some of us wackos who knew that we only wanted a real electric car with suspected decent range, had our money ready to plunk down before we'd seen a drawing or even a good verbal description, let alone an alpha or beta actual physical production prototype! If they'd made the X first, I'd have had one of those.
Life's too short to keep on burning gasoline and driving last century's "technology". I have to grimace at the ads nowadays, with their "All New From the Ground Up", or "Most satisfied customers for 5 years", or now VW's "clean diesel". (I'd like to challenge VW to running the exhaust into a hose ending in front of the steering wheel, to see how many drivers would agree it was "clean".)
I was ready for Tesla 20 years ago! SO glad they made it!
