Tesla is very popular here in Austin and I'm seriously considering buying one myself. There are a couple on my small street of just a dozen houses. However, the Tesla would only be for use in the city and I would still plan on having a second car for driving around the state. Texas has, I think around 16 Superchargers; that's one Supercharger for every 1.7 million people in the state, about a thousand times less than the number of gas stations. There are extremely large portions of the state without Superchargers and inter-city driving wouldn't really be practical. Even in a gasoline powered vehicle the distances between stations can be over 100 miles (I'm thinking of the highway that crosses the King Ranch, but that's not the only long stretch).
