I wish the thing was for sale as-is. Competition is going to force them to produce a comfortable, usable, extended range EV for that price, and I will just have to wait. The first one was the Zytek design you mentioned, but this is a 2nd "new and improved" design from Tesla, with more power, higher speed and greater range.

For extended range I guess one could carry a fairly modest generator set in the trunk to avoid ever being stranded. Forcing companies to conform to standardized batteries prevents them from designing better cars. Of course, EVs that arent designed for battery swaps wont use it, and plug-in hybrids wont need it.
