that Tesla price is a little "enthusiastic"
It includes the 7.5k Federal Tax credit and an estimated fuel saving of 6k compared with a similar ICE car.
so the list is 13.5 k more...
Most will get the Federal Tax credit (which is given at point of sale), but realistically you at least need to add 6k to get a sales value

It's odd how there's so many rules and regulations in the US (an American colleague who lives in France says California makes French bureaucracy seem simple) yet they can include fuel savings in the headline price. That saving disappears when you click through to buy.

Cars have always been super-cheap to lease in the US though - their used car prices are far higher than ours.

Apparently Musk has been told to stop including fuel savings in advertised prices but he refuses.
