Yes but even being cheaper, none of those cars really make any economic sense either. And 130k is really pushing it for the Telsa S. You can get into the top model less. If you're going just for electric AND efficiency then yeah, a Leaf or Volt would be better. At 100k you're generally the type shopping for an M5+ anyways. The efficiency of the Tesla is the icing on the cake. The fact that it's a big luxury car that hauls balls is the selling point. Consider for a second if the Tesla wasn't an electric car. For its performance and features would it really be priced THAT far out from where it's at now? Not really . . .
