There's no reason to pull out the True Believer ad hominem. You have valid points, but it also wouldn't be the first time that a long list of drawbacks with new technology are resolved one by one until it becomes obvious to everyone that the new way of doing things is better. I think that battery-electric vehicles are in this category, and that it will be tough for competitors to catch up once the "this is obviously the better way" point is reached. This is obviously a matter of opinion, but it certainly isn't clear-cut. I'd also claim that the drawbacks you mention don't merit the word severe, given that Tesla is able to sell ~100,000 vehicles per year with these drawbacks. They are certainly disadvantageous, but not to such a degree that they are a limitation to more than a few precent of the use cases. Also, there are advantages to electric vehicles - e.g. less routine maintenance, fewer moving parts to service, lower operating costs, less noise and emissions. So to a degree it evens out even with the present limitations.
