With the Tesla sedan you have something that's useful in and around town, but if you want to head out further you either have to stop every 200 miles or so and then charge for some unknown length of time or have a second gas-powered vehicle.

All I can say is: "Bah!"
All your points are valid and even though Tesla is a competitor of GM, as a brand new US-based car manufacturer, I wish them nothing but good luck.
