- mikeash 12y agoI don't know about that. I see quite a few people talking about buying one, or actually buying one, and the savings in gas is a big part of it. It may sound crazy, but it makes sense for people who would spend that much on a car anyway, and who drive a lot. If you're debating between a Tesla and a Corolla then the gas savings doesn't matter much. If you're debating between a Tesla and a similarly-priced BMW and you drive a lot, saving several thousand dollars a year in gasoline can be nice. People who spend a lot of money on cars don't suddenly not want to save money.
