Besides normal range issues, charging rates, home charging, charging places, etc, is this a bad idea? I mean, if a person gets a car like this, what are the chances he'd be priced out of a repair if it needed, say, a battery?
Try it and let me know. I've considered a Model S for a long time, and it's good to know they are finally coming down in price. ~$20k is about as high as I want to spend on a vehicle.

I have a feeling you'd end up watching a lot of Rich Rebuild videos.
