I didn't argue that a Tesla was not a nice car. I wrote that it does not burn gas and is therefore not gas-efficient.
I don't have a Tesla but I believe to that maintenance you have to add annual brake maintenance and more frequent and expensive tire replacement. Not unexpected with a heavy performance vehicle but definitely an added cost.
I would have been wary of the electronics and software package but as there has not been a lot of press of Tesla's "blue screening," the software must be in pretty good shape.
It would be really great if a Tesla fit my driving habits. Unfortunately, today it does not.
