$28,750 + $1200 delivery = $29,950

(On the Tesla web site they include "estimated 6-year gas savings: $4300)
$3,750 is only till June or so... My state offers no incentive for EV and actually taxes you more to offset the loss of gas taxes.

Have you sat in the back seat? Completely intolerable for a normal-sized adult.

If it had an air intake front grill, a real dashboard, and 4 comfortable seats, I'd have bought one by now. The tablet design is nothing but cost cutting.

If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
