It's like 3 cents per mile breh, it's considerably cheaper than gas, like 1/5th the cost and the more of these things on the road the more supercharger spots will be popping up.

shyt didn't know electricity was that cheap fukk you live at breh? I'm just saying charging adds up esp if you do it all the time just not as much as gas for now but you think that will be the case if most people start driving electric? The superchargers unless you in Cali are mainly in bumblefukk but hopefully you're right over time.It's like 3 cents per mile breh, it's considerably cheaper than gas, like 1/5th the cost and the more of these things on the road the more supercharger spots will be popping up.

Your probably right more people than I'm giving credit will take a base model just to be down. Usually most people don't want the base model of the cars that are in this price range and up.
From what I've read from people who own them, they're spending about 350-500 a year on charging, depending on what times (off peak vs on) that they charge them at. There's also about 10 supercharger places within 80 miles of me, and 5 within 15 miles (I live in NY).
This car is a game changer, the Model S is a luxury vehicle that kept it out of a lot of peoples hands, but I seen them shyts all over the place when I have to go to CT (they got SC spots all over that state), this thing coming in at $35k with tax breaks and little up keep costs is going to put the squeeze on the Altima, Accord & Camry. At that price there's nothing that can keep up with it in 0-60 & range, this shyt is gonna do 0-60 in around 4 seconds and get close to 300 miles per charge.

Yeah 500 isn't bad on gas but most people don't have 10 superchargers near them and for most they are out of the way unless you do business on the highway for most. Saying you see model S in CT isn't saying much that's like saying you see a lot of them in Hollywood. Of course people with money have them. I don't think its going to put the squeeze on Altima, accord, Camry cause if you get a base one of them cars you can get them for like 20-25 which is still saving some money. In general in most regular parts of cities most people's cars are around that 20-30 range. Once you get past that you start seeing cars in the 35k and up range less. I'm not saying you don't see them entry level luxury cars but usually its after they been out a year or so. Most cats I see driving in daily driving in the non rich parts of the city you see chargers, Impalas, accords, way more often than the entry level luxury cars.
I do think a lot of,cats going to try to get this car though cause tesla is on their apple flow right now with it being the it product car wise and no real competition currently. Its 60 going to be 6 seconds and the range is 200 what I heard which most people aren't doing anyway.

Im feeling it
The front feels like its missing something. But it's probably better without that plastic grill the model s has
The overall shape is sleek as hell

It depends cause thinking realistically you don't see as many 35k and up cars as you do cars priced in the 20k's range. Now if you live in a rich areas dismiss what I'm saying. Also unless they get an extension that tax credit will be gone before most people even get this car esp if they end up coming out late which Tesla is known for. I do think this is like an iPhone of cars though so cats going to be trying to stretch out to get one.

One thing i havent really seen much has been if u actually save money over the long run with an electric car from the maintenance side. U dont have to worry about oil changes and stuff like that. And theres less moving parts so less things that can go wrong.

May cop this as a second whip
I'd murder uber with this 
Availability end of next year, tho
...
I can understand if this was a concept but this is a production unit, pretty much....
id like to see how they will keep up the hype for almost 2 years..

I'm in once i see some Consumer Report, Car & Driver, Autoblog reviews. $35K is actually cheap for what cars are going for now. You can't get out the door under $40K for a sedan if you want a little more than the basics (ie Leather, Navi, etc)

$35k base WITHOUT the incentives
Base comes with supercharging and auto pilot safety features. I think I'm about to reserve one in the next few months.
