More important than the battery prices might be the range-anxiety issue. And also, how to meet the requirements for an increased cargo capacity? Some people would need at least a side-car to haul a suitcase on vacations, or a dog, or tools, or anything else...

I know about de gustibus and all that, but really, what sort of a life is that? Don't you ever want to get out and take the dogs for a long hike (and not on the same old trail every time, either), or go play at the lake, go skiing in the winter, or otherwise live a little?

Gotta have to agree with you at this point, sometimes I end up wasting so much time for not having a private vehicle. And sometimes when I have to take a short trip there is always some worry about finding a place for the dog to stay while I'm away from home, and it's not cheap. I have already taken the dog in some trips with my dad's car, but it's not the same thing as being able to set the routes I would want to go instead of just taking a "free" ride.
