I'd get a Tesla in a heartbeat if I could afford it.
The sedan is supposed to be more affordable; we'll see when it finally ships.
Along with the purchase price (base and options), there are additional costs for high capacity charging-- the "quick charger" and improved house wiring.
I agree that a diesel-electric vehicle would be desirable, but for me that would be applicable for longer trips than I could get from electric-only. *Almost* any electric car would cover 90% of my driving.
Tesla should get some of that bail-out money.
