“Loans” to companies and tax credits to purchasers of their products. Theres a whiff of fascism is the air.

The celebs are gonna be mighty POed when the car dies as the paparazzi swarm them. When the video of some drunk celebutard kicking their Tesla on the side of the road hits the Net, Tesla is doomed.

A smart news org. should gift a Tesla to a Lohan or Campbell, maybe throw in a baseball bat, just to video what is bound to happen.

That pretty much jives, the prices in the link I posted are after the $7,500 taxcredit.

Ah. Actually, Tesla itself seems to list a variety of prices for the same model. Seems they have been changing standard equipment and prices regularly.

Exactly, and if you scroll down to the extras pricing you can add a lot of bucks onto the four models in a hurry.
