Just because there is a tax credit available to people that purchase EVs and PHEVs doesn't mean you have to take advantage of them. Just like Tesla's Superchargers .... you can charge at home and not take advantage of "free" charging. And the financial scenarios I've laid out DO NOT take either into consideration. If you do, the case only gets better for owning a Tesla. But even without them, it's a competitive car. Just looking at the car, not all the political BS you want to roll into it. For most people, they buy a car based on the car and what their needs are. They don't think about all of the macro-political effects. To them, it's just a car. And a Tesla is just a car. Even if you didn't know how it worked, it's a pretty nice driving car for the money....at MSRP, no tax credit. Comparing it to other $90K MSRP cars. Get it yet?
