I always love that fable.


How will they sell enough at over $100,000 each to drive the price

They won't as far as the Tesla car is concerned.
But there's no inherent reason why a practical electric car should cost

The cost of the battery.

Again, I do not see why that should not drop in price as well, at least
to the point of an equivalent lead-acid system.

That sounds an astonishingly facile response.
