The numbers in that article are sobering. You can tell in the opening quotes from Musk. He knows that selling to the choir is one thing, selling to the masses is an entirely different thing altogether. The comparison between them and Apple, one that's often used by Tesla owners and...

Lines? Always a free spot where I fill. Takes 3-4 minutes and I'm good for two weeks.

Model S owners are going to take an even bigger hit come 5 years. Salesperson: "I can give you...$17,000 for it." Perplexed owner: "What?! I just paid $100,000 five years ago..."

Mr. Musk is spinning the "lease" because he's quite aware that at this time next year, that Freemont factory may not be churning out 500 cars a week. I believe demand will significantly slow and this might be the only way to try to get someone to wrap their head around spending this much money...

Sandust, You've been ignored! Congratulations! :D :) ;) I think I'm up to 20 or so...
