Sleepy,
I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that the P90D powers each wheel individually, computer-controlled to the microsecond to eliminate wheel spin (and thus not even a tire "chirp" upon a full-bore racing start)....
I'm sure I would have made that hill with a Volvo from the sixties with zero computing power and equipped with proper tyres. I've seen a lot worse conditions than that, our roads are rarely ploughed in the mornings when we get to work here. Where do you live Sigmetnow?
As per the image below, I find many superchargers in Sweden in the PlugShare app. (Teslas have adapter plugs so they can juice up at most chargers, or home dryer- or wall- plugs. They don't have to use Tesla superchargers, and you can limit the amperage it draws, when necessary.)
I know, more gadgets to buy. If you consider CCS, CHADEMO and Teslas SC we have these available, as per the image below. We need more fast chargers, not regular 10/16A outlets...
So you can't afford a P90D. Neither can I. But similar technology will soon (2017) be available in the second generation of electric cars, with increased ranges, that most people will be able to afford. (Yes, mountains and cold weather reduce max range.)
A fully equipped P85D costs 1.553.400 SEK.
As for future promises I need increased range and/or more fast chargers, please. And larger EV's... I will wait until next year and let you know how things go. Soon come, is a Jamaican expression isn't it?
Given the increasing number of EVs in Sweden (Tesla sales were up 270% in Sweden in 2015 ), more chargers will certainly appear. Give it time. But I'm betting other EV drivers have already found some!
They were actually up 274,3%. In the second picture are the numbers by Tesla Club Sweden. The other "big" seller here is Nissan.
I'll take your bet! How much?
There are unfortunately ZERO fast chargers available where I live. And that's in southern Sweden...
And McDonalds has finished their project with thirteen fastchargers.

Edit; -19°C this morning (talk about wild swings) and my car almost didn't start. A Korean car was clearly a bad choice despite that ECO sticker in the back, the only EC(h)O it makes is from the exhaust, if it starts.
I would love to have an EV, but there are clearly some challenges.
