While it is true batteryb prices wil come down over time, tax credits will expire.

I essentially got a $10,000 off the cost of the technology by buying now. It won't be too awful long before the states figure out how to tax EV'ers since they no longer pay taxes at the pump. I believe it is a case of buy right now, or much later.
