Presumably a 15K Camry is a used one (New ones start at 23K) so it would make compare also compare to a used Tesla. Used Model S' can be bought for as little as 40-46K, depending on where you buy[1].

Assuming electricity costs ~1/3 for the same distance as gas, then the used Tesla starts to make some sense, even when compared to the Camry (While being a much nicer car to drive).

Camry was purchased for 15K used w/ 30K miles in 2005; the new car market is for suckers.
