mcopanzani,

in your calculus you forgot to add the rate of return on the difference between the cost of the Tesla and that of the Hellcat when invested. If the difference of $67K was put into an CD at say 5 percent for 10 years the rate of return would offset the O&M costs of the Hellcat by -$26K. Therefore, TCO for the Hellcat would be $72k not $98. It remains more cost effective to own and operate the Hellcat. As for feeling warm and fuzzy about saving the environment. The carbon offset that these folk feel good about will offset that which I intend to dump into the environment when I purchase the Hellcat.
