Well, not just fuel but no oil changes, transmission service, brake pads may last longer because of regenerative braking, and of course, what price can you put on being an arrogant tree hugger? I jest, because I love tree huggers, and I have been known to once or twice consider the environment.

I gave long hard thought to the Model S (it does drive nicely and the torque is just fabulous) but in the end, I couldn't make it work. Range anxiety, out of pocket cost, quality issues with Tesla, value for money, etc.

Yeah, wait 'til you're my age, and you'll need those extra fuel stops for pee breaks.
