Re: Tesla

The model S I drove was $90k. I think if you can afford one of these you can afford a 2nd vehicle. Range anxiety, actual cost per mile, true cost per mile, all valid points.
However, the car stands on its own as a supercar, irregardless of engine/fuel.
It has throttle response superior to any other ICE vehicle, handled like it was on rails, F-A-S-T, spooky quiet, with just a whoosh sound blasting up to 100 mph. Hard braking from 100 to 40 was very impressive also. This car is easily the (driving wise) superior to Porsche Panamera, Audi A8, Mercedes S600 etc.
Blasting over railroad tracks and potholes, the car was quiet and solid.
