BUY NOW or LATER

[TomT]

It depends on where you live obviously, but after rebates here in California when I bought my 2011 a year ago, it effectively cost me about $21K. Throw in a free EVSE and install courtesy of the EV Project and about 2 grand I made in various focus groups and surveys, and it is a pretty darn good deal! And that doesn't not even take in to account what I save in fuel and maintenance...

These cars are simply not priced for the masses right now. It does not make sense to go drop $35k on a car when you can get many compacts that get 40mpg for 1/2 the price.
