Model S isn't that expensive, if you factor in the long term costs. Quoting from (http://teslarumors.com/USA-Residental-Energy-Cost-2011-by-State.html http://teslarumors.com/USA-Residental-Energy-Cost-2011-by-St...):
Based on a price of $3.75 for gasoline, a 15 mpg vehicle will incur a cost of 25 cents per mile, while a 30mpg vehicle will incur a cost of 12 cents per mile.
Model S gets 3-5c per mile in most states.
- tbrownaw 14y agoThe trouble is that that $3.75 includes taxes that are supposed to cover road maintenance. And sooner or later those taxes will have to be replaced by something else, likely paid when you renew your license plates and likely designed to be more expensive for cars that use less/no gas.
- mertd 14y agoI think the portion of gasoline tax for road maintenance amounts to less than a cent per mile, while the frequently quoted cost for road maintenance is 5-6c per mile per car. Thus it is already being funded from other sources.
