For me the i8 makes more sense and that's my point.
Clearly you know you're well outside of the normal 12k miles per year of the "average" American driver. So yes, a Tesla might not make as much sense for you. I put about 6k miles a year on my car. So an i3 makes more sense to me than a Tesla or even an IC car. I just wish the REX didn't add so much weight and had more range, as it would be nice to not have to pirate my wife's car for every trip over a few hundred miles.

And Tesla sold 5,150 Model S's in the US only in the second quarter. Compare that to the XJ, S-Class, 7er and LS in terms of US only.
