No, really, what car takes 30 minutes to refuel? It does refute your argument, because a Tesla takes at best 45 minutes to get 70 - 80 capacity back (about 200 miles) at one of its super-charger stations, if the Tesla is properly equipped, assuming there is an available charging port open. A 400-mile capable petrol car takes 5 minutes to recharge. It is a very large differential. Yup Tesla is innovative, but only compared to other electric vehicles, not compared to petrol vehicles, which is the OPs point.
