Tell us how you spent that much on fuel. What is your primary DD and how many miles do you drive it a month? Electric cars can save people a lot of $$ when the math works out. Buying a new Tesla 100D usually destroys the equation before you begin unless the alternative choice was a new MB AMG or something else that costs $150k and depreciates $10k a month.
All excellent reasons for you not to buy a Tesla. So don't buy one.
