I don't mean to be so breathless about the Model S. There are glaring shortcomings when compared to a petrol car. It's performance at speed is not as strong. It's range is far shorter. It takes an order of magnitude longer to "refuel" (3 minutes vs 30 minutes). But taken in the context of a full EV, it's the best anyone has delivered. The package is, as proven by the market, the best anyone has delivered so far.
That is innovation.

What car of the same size as a Tesla S takes 30 minutes to re-fuel? I can refuel my E90 in about 5 minutes;taking my time at it. Even Elon doesn't round up gasoline re-fueling to 30 minutes. LOL
