I would base my decision on whether getting an 'all electric' car would still allow to fulfill my transportation needs. For example: I live in the SF bay area and most of my drives are within +/- 100 miles so having a 200 mile radius on a vehicle would probably cover my daily needs. However, a few times a year I drive my car on longer trips (Portland, Reno, LA) so I would probably need wait for Tesla's supercharger/battery replacement network to expand before I can get rid of my gas guzzler. Also keep in mind that Teslas in their current state are still 'early adopter' vehicles, which means it will take some more time before all the shortcomings are smoothen out. However, if you are OK with limited range and open to embrace new technology despite its possible setbacks, the Tesla is probably the best choice out there since their focus has been on electric cars from the beginning and it's safe to say that they have most experience building electric cars so far.
