If someone commutes every day I could see it eventually saving some money on gas, though you would have to do the math on it(and compare like-for-like). If you only drive occasionally I don't see them making any sense, cost wise. They also aren't really any better for the environment in Alberta, given our reliance on coal electricity. Tesla's are apparently a bit of a pain to get fixed when stuff goes wrong, or you get in an accident.
If you just want a commuter you maybe be better served by a Leaf, given the cost difference.
