Mid-range is typically around 250 miles, which the Tesla can do.

As for budget, sure, the Tesla is a bit on the expensive side, but it is not difficult to afford for middle-class families.

Of course, the model with the 85Kwh battery is significantly more than $50k.

all the other mid range cars can do another 250 in 5 minutes.

Irrelevant. The point is that if your destination is less than 250 miles away, then it doesn't matter whether the car charges in 5 minutes or 50.

It's not irrelevant, as the whole point of this particular thread was the hypothesis that many people want to travel further than 250 miles.
