1. Base Model S is $50k after subsidies.
2. I have driven a roadster for three years/12k miles and never had a range issue. It gets 200-240 miles per charge. Very, very few folks break 200.
2b. The Model S has a 300 mile range version.
3. The Model S is better than any sedan in the market in terms of storage because it doesn't have all the parts of a carbon car.
4. they are cheaper to operate in my experience. i can go 200 miles on a $2 charge. of course, the roadster is an expensive up front cost. They will have a $30k cars in five year I'm certain.
5. i drive the Roadster because it's as fast as a lambo/ferrari/corvette, is super sexy and because it say F-U to the human right violating middle east. The environment is way down my list..... i'm for getting off middle east oil and human right way before being green.

- rflrob 15y agoDepending on where he's based (I'm assuming California), a large fraction is likely fossil fuel based, but there's lots of natural gas (which is at least a low-carbon FF), but also nuclear, hydro, and wind. It's also not unreasonable to assume that a Tesla Roadster owner might have put down the up-front costs for solar photovoltaics on his home.
