Buying a Tesla is NOT about saving money. Currently.

The California thing shouldn't be too much of a mystery. Ridiculously wealthy tree huggers. Think about it. Plus, it's a "local" product. And they like to be on the bleeding edge techwise.

A lot of things are easy to believe but that does not mean there are any facts to back them up. I am not discounting the theory altogether but can't we at least discuss it as something that at least has to endure some level of empirical rigor before we just agree that we're all brilliant and go for brandies?
