The problem across the entire Tesla line-up is the charge time. It takes several hours to fully recharge the battery pack, versus several minutes for a gas tank. This severely limits the practicality of the vehicle for anything but short commutes or urban runabout driving.
This is not a problem that has a foreseeable solution.
I believe that in transportation hydrogen is a much more practical energy storage medium than any sort of electric battery. There are problems there too, but electric is getting all the love right now and I think it's a bit shortsighted.
