Some related questions I have are:

Won't the natural laws of supply/demand eventually balance out the electric vs gas savings as electric cars numbers increase?

What happens as electric cars numbers increase and they are more frequently involved in serious accidents that result in vehicle fire? Will reports of freeways being shut down for most of the day & the environmental impact of such events tarnish/sour people's opinion enough to affect sales?

And the biggest most important question: When Tesla's are eventually hacked and turned into self-driving murder machines, set with an algorithm to rapidly accelerate towards anything that resembles a human in their obstacle avoidance cameras, will the blood soaked streets affect people's desire to go electric....let's see you outrun a 1000hp plaid ?????...... Seriously though, electric cars are in that "happy" period of any relationship before reality sets in. Will any of the drawbacks of electrical car adaptation have any significant effect on sales?
