If you won the Founder Series Roadster, would you keep it?

    I would keep it. Paying the taxes is so much easier than saving for one :)

    It would be very difficult to let go. I think keep it for 6-18 months depending on how many tickets I got:D

    If I won it I would pay the tax on it, get rid of the Prius, and it would become the cross town commuter for the one who has a real job where it would sit in a doctor office parking lot all day and garage at night. Let me drive it and I'll be getting King Air Bills from CHP because their helicopters and Stationairs won't be able to keep up.

    I'm wondering how does the actual cost compare to a Model S.

    I would make the financially unsound decision of keeping it.

    You know the picture of the $600/mo apartment with the corvette parked in front labled "Priorities"? That'd be me. But with a Tesla.

    YOLO, as long as the maintenance of the car bankrupt you :) I guess maintenance would still be cheaper than owning a Lamborghini or Ferrari.

    I don't think it'd be the maintenance, being a Tesla. It'd be the insurance and registration.

    This would be me. But with a Roadster. And no drugs.
