The calculator automatically includes "business" write off, take that away and you're at the 700+ mark. This is just smoke and mirrors.

I'm paying $580/month for a 48 month loan on an Infiniti G37S, plus about $300/month in fuel. That's almost $900/month. I can charge a Model S for between 1-3 cents/KwH (time of day metering between midnight and 5am). Oil changes? Gone. Brakes? Probably every 100K miles like a Prius/Camry Hybrid. So, goodbye fuel and goodbye most maintenance costs.

Sounds like a deal to me.

Yes, the Tesla is probably a good choice for someone who is in the $40k+ range already, since your gas costs can go to a better car. The odd thing is Tesla trying to sell this as a $500 a month car.
