Wink I might [Want] A Model S?

What it's like to own a Tesla Model S - A cartoonist's review of his magical space car - The Oatmeal

Then again, maybe not.

Cool car...but too expensive. So many great cars at that price point.

Waaaay too long of a read

I have nothing against hybrids or electric technology (their driviers are a different story), but I am not an early adapter. I want these to go through more development and product cycles first. In the mean time, $100k+ can buy a lot more exciting machinery.

Perhaps, but in the luxury sedan segment the Model S really is great. Test drive one and find out what I mean.

I work at Tesla, wait 3-4 more years for the more affordable generation 3 to come out. Should be around $35k

Yep, I've driven pretty much everything and the Model S is astonishingly good. If I had the money I would get one today over 5 Series, E-class, or Lexus GS.

Probably gonna wait for the smaller sedan they have coming out after the SUV that's next. Supposed to be in the mid-$30K range.
