24,450 is the posted actual cost after normal rebates and credits

A large part of that is "savings on fuel"

Yeah that’s a Tesla trick to make their cars look cheaper than they are. It’s deceptive. When I buy a gasoline power car, I don’t figure the cost of gas into the purchase price of the car.

It also wrongly assume that you can charge it at home. I only have access to street parking in London. I would need to register to various charging provider in order to be able to keep a car reasonably topped up without having to go to the supercharger at the beginning of a journey.

The price of the monthly subscription(s) alone is a very significant proportion of my gas consumption (I'm a leasure only driver, I do maybe 5000 miles per year, the bulk of it is done in 4 to 5 road trips)

In Spain, the standing cost of a residential electricity contract that is sufficient to charge a Tesla (i.e. above the regular Spanish 3000W default contract) is similarly a significant portion of the gas price.

And if the car could just be delivered to a dealership, you'd be getting the tax credits, and not paying the cost of to-your-house delivery.

They don't charge you extra if you live farther away, though. The delivery fee is charged to you whether they deliver it to the dealership or to your house.

I've never seen a dealership delivery fee over $500, and Tesla is going to charge $1200 to deliver this car to my house.
