The nerd in me couldn't resist doing the math, and given a few starting figures for my current situation ($13,500 car loan,60 months, good interest rate, $350/mo on gas) it would take 14 years of driving a Model S to make up for the fact that I'm not paying for gas. This discounts the fact that I don't have the $1000 - $1500 a month for the Tesla car payment. This electric car business is exciting for sure, but it'll be some time before it benefits my income bracket.
