Sure, the Tesla is expensive, but the BBC is not being very fair. Apparently, 50% of all drives in the UK are 8 miles, and 93% are ~25 miles. There is a great high speed train from London to Edinburgh -- I've ridden on it a couple of times. That only takes about 4+ hours? Why would you drive any car?
Once more fast chargers get put in, the Leaf could make the drive in one day -- the charges would take a total of 2-3 hours.
