So you won’t be charging you car for freeUh my power bill? How has any of that been maintained up until now? I didn't say power would be free, I said it would be cheaper.

Very disposable. With all the sensors on the Teslas to make it operate safely, any body damage MUST be repaired by a Tesla authorized body shop. Guess what, most Tesla bodyshops are Tesla owned...I can’t see a used Tesla being worth much after 5 years or so. Who is going to buy them at that point? I don’t see them being like an old Civic that you can wrench on yourself and rack up 200k+ miles relatively cheaply. To me Teslas seem like expensive disposable cars.
I would disagree with your comment on Solar panels. with rebates and tax credits you can get the ROI well below 15 years. it also depends on the size of your system. smaller systems have a shorter ROI Some of even the larger systems will have a shorter ROI than 15years even without the rebates. My system is 10k watts I installed in 2012 has been paid off for over a year now.As gas gets pushed out I'm willing to bet that electric starts to get more and more expensive. Gas pumps is a major source of revenue for Cities/States and as that dwindles they will look at other ways to get that money back not to mention other factors.
Solar panels are good but again that is another expense that has to be calculated out. Current state you are looking at 15 or so years at your break even point on them even with all the government rebates. Some of these things (in the current environment and market) is like stepping over dollars to pick up dimes. Some justify it by saying I will keep ____ "till the wheels fall off" or "I'm never moving again" but reality is that the vast majority of even those people still will trade cars out or move before those break even points arrive. Life has a tendency to force those decisions.
In the current market taking the $$$ for those two purchases (Tesla and Solar Panels) and investing it in even low risk markets will net you more value in the long run.
This is untrue.Very disposable. With all the sensors on the Teslas to make it operate safely, any body damage MUST be repaired by a Tesla authorized body shop. Guess what, most Tesla bodyshops are Tesla owned...
There are dozens of examples where cars with relatively minor looking body damage are TOTALLED by insurance companies. But don't take my word for it.
Depends on the price.So who here would buy a 5-year-old Tesla with 50-60k on it? Serious question - I just don’t see the market being there.

LOL I was not about to accuse you of anything in your last sentence. In fact I agree with most everything you said in this paragraph. which is why I have a $37K solar system installed on my house. some of which is courtesy of a tax credit.
actually no it's not the same. a deduction gets you about 30% per dollar spent . that is different than a credit that comes off your final tax bill.
you must be using the common core math to come up with this shit. I just spent and entire post calling the guy a snake oil salesmen and you come up with blood pressure and he's my uncle?
I used 72 months and no amortization schedule because you didn't say your interest rate.
If you got a true ROI that means you're utility bills were $513 a month!
That's crazy.
Edit: forgot to quote this originally.
why do you assume I financed it? I didn't say my interest rate because I had no interest rate. I paid my portion in cash.
