No. Please get your facts straight!

The $35k Tesla is $35k before any rebates or savings are taken into account.

The $35k Tesla has a price after estimated savings of $24,450 in Massachusetts.

$24,450

$6,250 of that savings is in the form of a $3,750 tax credit and a $2,500 check.

So even if you factor in zero fuel cost savings the purchase price after rebates is $28,750.

Stunningly inexpensive for an EV. This is lower TCO than Accord or Camry.

as a person who drives 5K miles/yr and usually buys fuel in a state that isn't NY or CA, estimated fuel savings are always amusing.
