Can I drive to Scotland in it?
Yes you can.
The Tesla Model S 100D is a very nice car, but it is definitely not cheap! The technology will come down in price though and appear in more affordable cars in the future.
For now though, I can only dream.

Peter Barrett the good thing about electricity (well, one of the good things) is that it is so much easier to transport than fossil fuels. In fact, you don’t even need to do that with solar cells all over the place. No reason why Australia can’t have charging points all over the place as a result.

Slick video that states range between charges is 280 miles, which could serve the needs of many petrol/diesel motorists. Video plays down fact that charging stations are not universal. This is the Achilles heel for electric cars. Who is to pay for the new infrastructure required for all electric cars? Do not expect Tesla to do it. Video completely avoids mentioning the destructive environmental effects associated with mining for the rare earth elements required for the high performance batteries in electric cars. The world does not need overpriced electric cars, so that Elon Musk can become wealthier. Invest in the proven technology of hybrid cars, if you truly want to lower your carbon footprint while motoring.

Alan Stainer I will wait until the charging infrastructure is built before considering an electric car. Or carry a petrol generator in the boot. Filling the fuel tank of a traditional car takes minutes. How do you occupy yourself at the Nullarbor roadhouse waiting for a charge to complete?

Peter Barrett there are ongoing trials of roads fitted with some sort of induction plates which charge electric vehicles as they drive. Now I don’t know the specifics about it, it may require a specific type of battery but given Australia’s solar energy potential this would be a good candidate for this type of thing.
Having said that wherever you are you really need to take a break from driving every 2 hours or so and preferably for longer than it takes to fill up a tank :)
Alan Stainer did you delete the troll’s comments or did he block me? I can’t see his comments anymore. I love being blocked by trolls, it saves me the hassle…

Another technology improvement in batteries is the speed with which they can charge. I believe there is a New Zealand company that has developed a lithium ion battery that can charge to full in just 7 minutes. Then there is the new development in using glass and sodium (salt), which is much more widely available than lithium and potentially has a vastly greater capacity too.
The arguments about mining lithium really are a red herring though, as the quantities used to manufacture batteries are tiny. The environmental effects are nothing compared to the effects from mining fossil fuels.

Peter Barrett it’s standard safety recommendation. I appreciate if you fall asleep you’re possibly more likely to bother a kangaroo than another driver (how’s that for stereotypes?) but still. :)

Alan Stainer another option is towing a trailer adorned with lots of fold-out PV and battery storage. Vanadium redox batteries have some potential (no pun intended) because they can be changed quickly by adding anolyte/catholyte. I have no problem with lithium mining because it economically benefits Western Australia. The mine at Greenbushes has been going for 50 years.

London to Glasgow is 412 miles which exceeds the 280 mile range of Tesla S100 D car. You will need a charging station along the way, if you want to make this drive. Good luck in finding one at 3AM in the morning. No problem covering this distance with a hybrid like the Chevy Bolt which gets 238 miles on a single charge. The Chevy Bolt is also much cheaper to purchase. Electric cars, even with extended battery life, are not suited for long distance travel. This is why, there is no hype about electric lorries replacing petrol or diesel lorries.

Donald Hogan the Chevy Bolt isn’t a hybrid, it’s full electric. And the UK motorway network and in towns have chargers everywhere, which are 24hours open. Don’t know why you think they would be closed at 3am.
And i doubt if you can drive over 400 miles without stopping… Everyday.
Just because EVs might not suite you doesn’t mean they are crap for everyone.

Why do people say lithium mining is bad when they completely ignore how bad it is mining for oil, shipping the oil, processing the oil and finally shipping the fuel.

David Vincent the Volt has a (small) petrol engine, it’s therefore by definition a hybrid even though the petrol engine serves no other purpose than recharging the battery
(unless of course Chevrolet did release a 100% electric vehicle called “Bolt” I’ve never heard about)

Since we seem to be arguing the merits between hybrid and electric vehicles; I would say that a plug in hybrid really offers the best of both worlds. Fully electric vehicles are adequate for city, suburban, or medium distance commuting; and while the cars themselves require a special plug, the chargers can plug into ordinary 230 and 115 outlets; and there are plenty of those around the world, if you want to keep your charger in the extra trunk space. So I see no reason why most people can’t switch as soon as they buy their next car.
However you can put hybrid technology in any vehicle and it will work as well, or in some cases better, then it’s plain gasoline counter parts. You can have hybrids as small as a prius or as large as a buses. in fact one of my favorite hybrid vehicles are these new evolution series locomotives from GE, which have banks of batteries under their cat walks, which allows them to save fuel while increasing the power output.
