So what do you suppose the chances are that a kid starting his first job will save $500 to $1500 to buy a good used Tesla.

About the same as kid saving up to buy a BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Lexus, etc., etc.

The Tesla Model S is a high performance, luxury sports sedan and is priced like one.

Tesla does plan to intro a much more affordable model in 3 to 4 years. The Model S was never intended for the middle class, but their next sedan will be.

Nice words. Is a kid working his first job going to save $500 to $1500 buy one that's 10 or 15 years old and drive it for 3 or 4 years with minimal maintenance?

My first car was a 1972 Mercury Montego that I paid $300 for in 1984 and drove it for about 4 years. In that time I spent probably $300 on self maintenance and repair.
