Andre---Yes people buying the Model S are in the "Upper Half" of the income brackets. Tax breaks are a tricky issue because it depends on many things. I remember the 1970s when electronic fuel injection first came out. Only the wealthy few who could afford to buy BMWs, Mercedes Benzs ect could get that feature. Basically the "Rich" paid for the development of that technology. Today its on literally every car. The rich paid for the development of the technology and now all income groups get the benefits of better performance and lower fuel consumption. The EV industry is the same. Tesla adds a premium onto the cost of every Model S sold today. Some of that money is used to build out the supercharger network which will benefit more than just the few buying the Model S today.
