J: I am waiting for the next generation battery to come along and change everything. A friend has a new Tesla S and it is ungodly fast and very quiet.

Dirt-what kind of range does your friend get on a full charge?

My buddy has the high end version and the stated range is just under 200 miles. I don't think my friend ever goes more than about 150 miles without a charge but drives to Flagstaff from Phoenix once in a while. Tesla has free quick charge stations around the country with about a half a dozen in Arizona. I read that after their SUV the next vehicle from Tesla might be a pickup truck to compete with the F-150. As gas prices go up the e-vehicle market heats up.
