This sums up the problem with Tesla Motors

Found this in the comments posted on http://blog.wired.com/cars/2009/02/tesla-teases-us.html” alt=”tesla motors sedan”>wired. The posts were back to back too… I thought this just about sums it up. Even if you can afford a BMW M5, can you afford the upkeep?

The new Tesla sedan does look nice from the partially hidden picture they supplied — if you like aston martin’s in a bmw paint scheme.

Need plug-in stations built around the country. And maintenance/repair costs will cancel any fuel cost savings. Hopefully there will be a model at half the pricepoint so everyone can get one. I am sure they are aiming for the well-to-do set. the slums will cough up blood in their exhaust-riddled poverty.
