I think it is pretty disingenuous to include tax and possibly delivery in the 130k figure. If one were to go that route then would it not also be prudent to also subtract the $7,500?

Its been posted elsewhere, but it makes sense here too.
Dan Neil was on The Smoking Tire podcast, and pretty much spent the first 15-20 minutes gushing about the Model S.

Thanks, I hadn't seen (well, heard) that one.
Edit: Wow, you weren't understating it. Dan is absolutely effusive in his description of the Model S. Warms the heart

I wish those potty-mouthed hosts had let Dan Neil talk a bit more without interrupting him with silly comments

TOTALLY agree. What a terrible podcast host. He just keeps interrupting his guest and bringing up irrelevant points. It was amazing Neil got a word in edgewise. I wouldn't listen to another of his podcasts on a bet.
Not much of a drive review, but the reporter did get to drive so... posting: Taking A Spin In The Model S With Tesla Investor Nancy Pfund - Forbes

at least Dan was extremely excited about the Model S and that was at the beginning of the recording. No other part of the interview exited him more than the S! I liked his enthusiasm

I suffered through the whole thing. For the most of the time it sounded like there wasn't an adult in the room. The conversation was at the level of a group of adolescent males. Dan I think was at times lowered to their level and that was diappointing.

What's really sad is that their conversation basically reminded me of me and my friends

This is the longer review that he promised at the end of the brief one he published earlier (posted above).

Thanks for all the detail and reactions.
Just to check: "A number of times load cars would drive by and I would begin to imagine a city without load clunkers" -- loud cars, loud clunkers?
It's kind of mind-boggling to think of the numbers of explosions contained in ICE engines to make them go, vs. silent switching of current into copper coils to create magnetic rotation of an axle in EVs. Especially obvious when a large Harley with a very small muffler shows off its roar! Or the pick-up I saw/heard last month dragging its exhaust system on the road as it climbed a hill ...
