Hybrid makes good sense IMO right now until there will be enough power generated and enough fast charging to satisfy demands when number explode?

Well. Maybe a a shift in thinking. If you're driving around town is the issue, I expect charging at night while you sleep is the answer. The charging stations are for when you go more than 400 miles in a day (current range of Tesla's - sort of). Most people's local driving is not over 300 miles a day, so lots of buffer there.
And honestly I don't mind if they would make it illegal to drive more than 6 to 8 hours without a break, at some point in there the driver becomes a hazard. A 15 to 30 minute potty and snack break can be refreshing.
Everyone I know that has a Tesla says that it's range is not a serious limitation on cross country driving.
I guess if someone is used to having two 50 gal side thanks on the pickem'up truck, that could be simulated with a UHaul like trailer full of batteries, although that might get a little expensive - LOL!
