Pre-takeoff checklist
$60,000 used for a Tesla S
I paid $25,000 for my Vette, used.
I've put about 45,000 miles on it since I bought it. At 25mpg avg (and yes, that's what I average) I've burned about 1800 gallons. Even at an average of $3.50 for premium, I've only spent $6300 in fuel.
$25,000 + $6300 = $31,300
Subtracting from $60,000 I still have $28,700/8200gallons/200,000+ miles of "free" fuel left.
You sound like one of those people that thinks it's better to keep paying interest on a mortgage because of the tax deduction.
Fit 4 people and a trunkload of luggage in your Vette and I'll consider what you're saying a fair comparison. They are completely different cars, as someone earlier said, the Tesla is more of a luxury car that happens to go fast.
I'm thinking about putting some money in Tesla stock. I think the Powerwall batteries are going to be big, not necessarily for home use at first, but for commercial.
Big question is if they can keep the Model X on track and get the Model 3 out the door on-time (big 'if' as Tesla has a history of delays).
