The Tesla would be ideal for my 160-mile round trip commute, except my priority is to maintain a low cost of ownership commensurate with a quality driving experience. The Tesla cost $20K more to own for my commute than most all other ICE cars that provide a quality driving experience.
I'm not exactly following this debate closely, but you can't consider your 160 Mi daily commute even remotely close to normal? You are probably like 3 deviations off the mean. You would obviously not be a candidate for an EV, even an extended range one like the Model S 85 kwhr.
