Probably because the last time I priced a used Tesla (Model S) I was quoted close to $500 per month (that's what I said, "$500 per month" not "per 6 months") for the necessary full coverage insurance.

Besides, I wouldn't buy a new Trax, not right now. Looking at my budget, $50k per year, 20/4/10 rule, $150/month-in-fuel, $150/month-for-insurance = about enough money for a $5,000 vehicle. So a I'd probably get a Honda Fit with 228,000 miles on it, or Redpoint5's Acura.
