Lease a Telsa and pay the difference out-of-pocket to upgrade your image?
Tesla Model S For $500 Per Month? No. Just No.
1. Yes, all maintenance is covered. It's primarily a business vehicle, with personal use allowed.

Option 2. is the Runzheimer program, which is a personal vehicle used for business purposes.

I care less than most about image, but I am a bit of a technophile and would love to drive a Tesla.
