2) terrible resale value / battery life: "A survey of 80 European Model S owners has demonstrated that, on average, most Tesla Model S batteries seem to degrade only 5% after 30,000 miles (50,000 km). After that point, degradation appears to slow down, showing very little further degradation for the next 30,000 miles."

This way, you might use them and we might even own them - provided that we launch local cooperative fleets to replace Uber.
