The car all in all was $114.000 with the low taxes. These days it's more like $250.000 here.
Honestly I/we love the car. It's quiet, easy to drive and charging has never been a problem. I would admit that it sometimes takes a little more planning than a regular car but it's well worth it in my opinion.
There has been some reliability issues with the car, but all have been fixed under warranty by Tesla. The service is phenomenal to say the least.
Big issues we have had:
- The howling drive unit - replaced for free
- Windscreen scratches from door handles - replaced for free
- Rusty screws in the rear diffuser - replaced for free
and some smaller stuff that has been fixed by the service center as they had the car in.
Would I recommend a Tesla? Absolutely, especially if you buy a pre-owned from Tesla. I would hesitate about the Model X since there is too much tech in that car that can go wrong, but the Model S is a no brainer (a very expensive no brainer).
A word of warning though, once you go electric there is no turning back. The ride is incredibly smooth and the driving feel is so much better than internal combustion engine cars. :)
