I think you answer your own question here: "Bottom line is what do I get by buying an Electric car exactly even assuming it is the same price as the gas vehicle? How important is the gas savings when you weigh that over the lack of utility in other areas?" ... "People buy cars on emotion not rationality. It's the same reason someone wants 4 wheel drive even though they might only need it a few days per year."

People who pay $90k for a car to commute back and forth from work every day don't care about saving money on gas. It's just a status symbol like any other luxury car. But I hope it takes off, because it will finance the expansion of Tesla into cheaper cars.
