Oh yes forgot to show my math; 2015 Mustang GT fastback, with tax $46,543, 19mpg combined. @ $4.00/gas * 100K miles of driving, total for just the car and the gas = $67,595.
Tesla Model S60 after tax credits, and no sales tax in WA, $63,570, 285wh/mile @ $0.10/kwh * 100K miles of driving = $66,420, for a TCO of $1,175 less than the Mustang.
I have driven it on a road course to 110mpg+, it handled just fine. I also drive to work, store, baseball game, movie night, occasional 2200 mile trips to Monterey. I can also drive the Tesla nationwide on the free Supercharger network. Does Ford have a backlog of 3-4 months of cars that people have on order? Has Ford ever pre-sold over a year and a half of production on a new model that no one has ever seen or test driven yet? Ford has lots of plug-in models available, C-Max Energi, Ford Fusion Energi and Ford Focus Electric. They are hedging their bets, they will be around, as well as Tesla.
