As for the increase cost/break even point. You are also paying for the look and performance of the vechicle. Most decent non high end sports cars sell for upwards of 50+ thousand dollars, with some being even higher than the Tesla at 109K.
Honestly, for me the thing that is disappointing is that you can only purchase a tesla if you live in the states......

Where is all of the additional electricity going to come from to power these cars? Not from nuke or hydro power, it's all going to come from new coal plants. Even in BC or MB, the additional demand for hydro would result in an equal displacement of surplus power sold to coal jurisdictions, resulting in more coal production in other states/provinces. Zero sum gain.
