Isn’t this including negative opportunity cost in the price? I agree with one of the comments that the price should reflect what you have to pay at time of sale. The problem with this approach is that they are assuming too many things. The biggest assumption is 1) that buyers are comparing a Tesla to another car. Why not a motorcycle with better fuel efficiency. This also assumes a fixed differential between gas and energy costs which may or may not hold and 3) that a comparable time period is 6 years and 4) a present value discount rate of 0%. Sure, anyone can calculate all sorts of returns on investment on meechandise. But why don’t we just agree to quote the investment and not the return. At the end of the day, that’s all we know today.
