Sixty-two-thousand-nine-hundred dollars, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! It seems to hold its value quite well! The cheapest roadster comes in at !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . What say you? Are these NP or CP? Be careful considering, as the Model S seller does not like low balls callers. As for the Roadster, I am not sure how well these have aged since 2010? Are they competitive range-wise?

I assume the Model S is ultra reliable because around 22 moving parts, so I'd definitely consider getting one used, but not yet. Too expensive for now.

Yeah, I'd start considering it at $40k and under and by that I mean I'd see how that would work out for me financially. Chances are it'll be cheaper to keep my car at that price.

For some reason it won't load your replies because kinja, but yeah, $40k sounds very reasonable.

Yeah I can kind of see the Model S holding it's value. It's an amazing machine.

But the roaster? Really? I wouldn't pay $10K for that beta test bed. Wayyyyyy better to just get the real deal and buy the Lotus that it's based off!

Seems like the real question is whether or not you want to be a guinea pig. Reliability, longevity of the company and the charging network, maintenance, and many other aspects of used car ownership are still, I presume, pretty unexplored. Still a better choice than a new Kia K900, though.

Exactly!

I can't open your other comment. We broke the Kinja

And nobody gave it coffee this morning

Kinja panicked when it woke up this morning and Jezebel was still in bed with it.

All the ones I looked at though, were VERY low mileage, I dont think they were in guinea pig territory yet, but you are right, one that is affordable to me will have much higher mileage.

lololol

I think it was actually Jezebel that freaked the fuck out and broke Kinja when she woke up with Deadspin in her bed this morning

LOL yep. I bet the Gawker office in NYC just bitches about kinja every day.

They probably bitch about Kinja all day and get bitched at about Kinja all day long. Overall the Kinja discussions probably eat up 95.2% of their time.

Sometimes I wish Kinja would fully break for at least a couple days. It's the ultimate time waster.

Right now there are two things that I've been procrastinating because I really, really, really don't want to do them. So I keep doing other work and then going back to the Gawker world instead of doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

Rusto stahp being lazy because F-Car!!!!

Oh yeah, I forgot!

I mean I look at them for sale all day long. But sometimes I forget that working harder will make it more possible. It's hard not to think that it will never happen because I keep looking at more and more expensive cars and they would be farther and farther in the future.

I just got one of the two things I was procrastinating done. Now gotta get the other... It's weird cause it's not even laziness. It's more apprehension about doing something that you really don't like doing.

Yep, I understand. I've been putting off washing my car for 2 weeks. I only drive it once a week, and it's to go to and from work every Tuesday. I don't drive it enough.
