Planning to buy a Model S when they are available in Australia. Beyond the whole electric aspect, it is one of the best engineered cars in the world (which is what the US automotive industry lacks). It isn't right for everyone right now, and early adopters do need to pay a premium relative to gas cars (though that premium is returned mostly over the years in cheaper running costs), but it is selling well and electric is the future of automative.
For those complaining about range, 300 miles (or 320 miles with aerodynamic wheels) is certainly enough range for most people. Tesla (as well as Nissan, etc in separate programs) are also about to begin a nationwide roll-out of fast charging stations along highways and travel routes. These 'superchargers' (as they call them) can give the car 160 miles of range in 30 minutes.
For those that want an SUV Tesla is set to unveil one in the coming month or two. A company to watch.
