Lol is on you. It's not simply an oil consumption play. My friend sold a used p85d for 120k used to a guy who didn't want to wait the 6 months to get his. LOL

If someone wants to save on buying gas, they'll buy a Chevy Volt, a Nissan Leaf like mine, a Mercedes-Benz B-class electric car, a BMW i3 or any of the other electric cars out there. A Tesla buyer is buying it for the performance aspect. Saving gasoline is just a positive perk of the performance capabilities of an electric motor. Insane torque, smooth driving, quiet ride....those are the positives of electric cars aside from saving gasoline.

Do you use electricity? That goes back to the 1800s. I can name tons of things you use today that were invented hundreds of years ago that remain unchanged today. Time changing is not a reason to change something that works just fine and has been proven to work for decades and even centuries.

Yea, a liquid that can be used to move a vehicle continuously for months until something breaks on the car other than a ten minute fuel stop. It's so 20th century. Electric cars have applications however they are not a full replacement for cars using fuel.

Electric cars actually predate gas ones, so 19th century.

Buying a Tesla to save gas

is like buying a Rolex to tell time.

A Tesla, like a Rolex is a statement; "Got it Made".
