For the exact same reason Tesla won't be able to sell the Model S, because taking the difference between electricity and petrol prices, it will take 50 years to pay off the price difference from a Toyota.

- icebraining 9y agoPretty sure that was sarcasm :)
- Diederich 9y agoWell damn, live and learn. While I've gotten very good at detecting online sarcasm, it's still not a perfect game. (:
- hueving 9y agoBad comparison. You can buy renewable from your electricity provider so the entire 'being green' factor goes away in this comparison. People buy Teslas because they are fun to drive/nice cars and they get environmentalism bragging rights. There is nothing special about a solar roof compared to paying the utility for the renewable source.
- zzzzzzzza 9y agoTesla's sales of model s's seem to have peaked at a level where the model s may never have a net profit margin. (manipulated gross margin figures not withstanding) If the market isn't big enough the company isn't viable. Personally I think the long run place of private cars in a TaaS world is questionable.
