I like the idea of a Tesla, but I can't justify the cost.

I hope they sell a ton of them and the cars go through the usual depreciation cycle. Maybe then.

If the idea is an EV with good range at a better price, then there's the Hyundai Kona:

The Kona's quite efficient. It recently finished second in an EV efficiency race:

I recently saw a Kona in Palo Alto and immediately called my wife to have her google it. I didn't even know it was an EV — I just didn't recognize it and thought it was a great-looking vehicle.
Only the Kona 19 is an EV, earlier models are ICE.
The local SV dealer told me March for the Kona EV.
