It's almost like some here are completely unaware that the Tesla Model S exists and has already proven the examples such as those given above to be incorrect.

The main issue is with the Model S is price. Fix that and I see too many major advantages with electric to care about gas anymore. An electric motor is as simple as it gets, especially vs something as complicated as an ICE.

The future is looking great!
