"How the least-likely person to purchase a Model S became an owner" is one person's story of the financial justifications for buying a Tesla S. In his words: "This is my story about how I ended up purchasing a Tesla Model S. No snazzy car photos not trying to sell you on the beauty of the car, there are plenty of websites for that. This site is about the economics of purchasing and owning a Tesla."

Baed on feedback to the author, there have been some adjustments to the model he used, but it's interesting to see that the luxury electric car is competitive even with climate change and other factors eliminated. Comparison spreadsheets are here.

    You do have physical buttons for radio and climate control. They are on the steering wheel. You have ones on either side that can be configured to control whatever you like.
