If you're talking about the Prius you claim to own it certainly isn't
faster than an MGB while running on electricity.

I think hes masturbating over the Tesla.

I'm still waiting for a full road test of one of those. Plenty of driving
impressions - but not yet the full story. Wonder why? Could it be the
range is nothing like the claimed amount?

My calcs say you will get the performance OR the range. Not both together
;-)

Still it is a good proof of concept, and I'd certainly have one if they
were sub 10k with a warranty on the battery :-)

I think we are about 18 months away from usable batteries..at affordable
prices.

Expect to see supercapacitors to compliment the batteries. The range and
performance. Makers are running up prototypes of new light "insulated"
bodies and advanced glass, to reduce a/c and heating demands.
