This is exactly the car I want: a six seat electric car with enough space for my wife and me, our two kids, a brace of grandparents, a stroller, pack & play, whatever crap we buy from the county fair we visit, and enough range for a weekend trip. It's ideal. It is, however, twice the new list price of the used Mercedes GL that currently fills that role for us and even zero fuel costs don't make up for that over 5 years. It's a downpayment on a house, or a four figure lease. Not for us. I'm pretty excited for the future though. This kind of thing will get cheaper. Tesla may be able to swallow the risk of offering warranties on used vehicles as more long-life reliability data comes in.
