^ +1 this...The big thing about a Tesla is that it stands on it's own merit, it doesn't need an "excuse" to compete with other cars. And once you've driven one for a month, you'll think your other car is broken.
The environmental reasons are a pro, but I got it because it's cool, it looks good , it's fast and I don't have to pay for gas anymore (cheaper long term)
Same here, but I primarily bought the S because of the safety ratings.
In a very short Google search, I see several nuclear power plants and several natural gas power plants in Ohio. I would also suspect there might be a Tesla owner or two who have solar panels and supply some of their own power.
I think your premise would be hard to prove, whether you believe it or not. Even burning coal, electrics are efficient enough to make less CO2 than a standard gas burning car.
+1 to the OPEC part.I prefer an electric car to reduce demand for oil for geopolitical reasons more than environmental. Tesla has the dual advantage of being able to stick it to OPEC and to the Texas Auto Dealers Association at the same time.
