If electricity was free it would take about 7.7 years at $200 per week to make up the difference between your Elise and a Tesla. How long does the Tesla battery pack last? How much is a new one?

Are you really driving 800 miles per week? $5 per gallon 20 MPG $200 dollars = 800 miles. I think you need to move...

ATX, I don't think you are a Tesla customer. I think the Tesla is a great product and I hope they sell loads
