This is absolutely the most ridiculous and rude and anti-capitalistic post I've ever seen.
I hated it earlier, and I still hate it.
You wanna drive a 163K (plus taxes bringing it above 170K) vehicle, then u gotta pay the premium.
Get over yourself and your needs, and see the bigger picture... These are expensive LUXURY vehicles and as such they command a price just a tad higher than your average rent-a-wreck.
Try renting a Series 7 or Bentley. Would you also cry about those prices?
I for one would not rent you my P100D for any price.
Maybe you should rent your Model S for 30 bucks a day to some extended family that will overpack your vehicle until it bursts at the seams, and subject it to stop-and-go driving in the 100 degree heat for days on end. Then enjoy receiving your sweat bathed vehicle with broken A/C system on its return.
