The thing is that at some point you start experiencing fuel savings which pay for a large portion of the car loan and subsequent battery replacement loan (which will effectively be the backbone of the resale market for these cars).
We're also considering TaaS, which means that you won't even be the one buying the car. Uber buys the car and offers you free rides wherever you need to go. In exchange, you watch TV ads or provide other valuable information during your trip.
