The Tesla Model S. All electric. Zero emissions. 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds, and a top speed of 130mph.

It goes roughly 265 miles on one charge, and the battery holds 85kWH of energy. So lets say you are charged 50 cents per kilowatt hour. 50 cents times 85 is $42.50 per full charge. So you are paying a little less than what you would be paying at the pump ($10 to $15 less). Now, a more realistic price per kilowatt hour (kWH) in the United States would be anywhere from 12 to 36 cents per kWH. This means the cost for a full charge (refill) of the car would be $10.20 (12 cents per kWH) to $30.60 (36 cents per kWH). Even if you paid 50 cents per kWH, your "pump cost" or charging cost would still be at least $10 cheaper than the cost at the pump to fully refill your gas car.

Now if only I had to $83,000 to buy the car...

For some reason I really want to see that car get in a crash.

I'm not from the US, but from Canada, but I'm sure the rule still applies to us as well. I actually never knew it was illegal to drive one until now :/.

Actually, you should be all good in Canada if I'm not mistaken.
