Yeah, 8kWh vs 85kWh. I was just making a point how people forget what is a cut and dry deal breaker for some when it comes to the Tesla. My 6 hour drive to visit a friend would become a 16 hour one since there's nothing but public stations between her place and mine. And that's running it to empty and charging JUST enough to complete the journey, then finding a charging station near her and leaving it there for a day. It will become less of an issue in the future but according to their map, it will be at least past 2015. So even if I was interested in a Tesla, I can't make one work for my location and how I like to travel.
