;-) I got rid of 2 american cars with HEMIs. A Grand Cherokee, and a Challenger. Used a lot of gas, and didn't enjoy driving them anymore. Sold the Challenger in 2013 and Jeep this xmas. being able to afford to buy and run the vehicles has not much to do with what you should run. A new Tesla X will be about the price of BOTH my last vehicles. Hence the time to save. :-)
We'll see, but I sure love the idea of a full electric vehicle with power. Until the day a Tesla makes sense for us (my wife and I) my Micra is super. I feel like karting everyday. And as long as I'm having fun, I'll keep it. The wife is not impressed. She wants something else, so by end of summer we'll have a second vehicle.
Tesla has an adapter for CHAdeMO, I wonder if there will be one for the opposite. At the rate the Tesla charging stations pop up vs the other electrical one, I'm guessing Tesla will be more present (from their deployment map).
A Micra EV ? Hummm 0-100km/h in 5 seconds.
