I visited the Tesla store recently, and I can definitely see why it's sold out--the car is gorgeous, it has a 17" touchscreen in place of the dash and, in some ways, it's actually more practical than a comparable normal sedan (it has storage space in the front and the back, for example). Especially for people who do not drive long distances too often, this really is a great car to have. I would definitely see getting one of these over a 5 series or the like; for daily use, you wouldn't be sacrificing quality by going electric.

17" touchscreen in place of the dash In all honesty that's an idiotic trend that I hope ends soon. Touchscreens (especially ones with menus) are impossible to navigate without taking your eyes off the road. In my old Toyota Echo I could find every control (and its state) by feel alone. Now, if they added tactile feedback to the touchscreen (say vibrations as you moved over controls on the screen, and requiring force to "click") and got rid of menus, at least that'd be usable (if not still silly). ...That said I'd still buy the car if I had that kind of disposable income.
