Tesla never got any TARP money AFAIK. Economical in this case really depends on perspective. Is it more economical than a $15k compact? Nope. But it's probably more economical than other vehicles in it's price range. That said, using the same idea the $15k compact isn't economical because someone can get a used version for $5k, and along the same lines they could get a used motorcycle for $1k, and a used bike for $100, or a beater bike for $free. By the time we're done the only really economical thing to do is ride around on our free bike eating only out of dumpsters!
