Interesting weather fact.
We're visiting family in Ontario, and like the rest of the continental NE, the weather is unseasonably warm. This morning at 730am, the temp was 15C. I just happened to click on Mazatlan's figure, and...

Pre-orders start then, though production won't begin until 2017.

UPDATE, September 3, 2015: Tesla chief Elon Musk took to Twitter last night, as he is wont to do, to drop some key facts about the upcoming Model 3, Tesla's take on an affordable EV. Production will start in two years, which jibes with what we already knew. Musk also teased fans, however, by promising to reveal the car in March of next year.
2016 Tesla Model S
http://www.thecarconnection.com/overview/tesla_model-s_2016#mainReview
Prices range from $70,000 for the base Model S 70 to around $135,000 for an absolutely top-of-the-line P90D with all the options. Thta makes Model S an expensive car that competes with mid-size and full-size luxury sedans, though Tesla has ambitious plans for a $35,000 electric car it says it will unveil during 2016.

$71,100
As both the ultimate eco-friendly luxury car and an absurdly fast sports sedan, we simply love the Model S. With an aptly named “Ludicrous Mode,” the top-spec, all-wheel-drive P90D hits 60 mph in 2.8 seconds. And yes, the optional Autopilot can do the driving for you in certain situations. The other trim levels offer varying performance and range as you move down the lineup, but all offer a classy cabin and electrifying driving experience. We gave the Model 70 and 70D a 10Best award for 2016.
How much tax do we pay on a gallon of gasoline and diesel fuel?
The taxes on retail gasoline and diesel fuel, in cents per gallon, as of July 1, 2015:
https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.cfm?id=10&t=10
. . . . . . . . . . . Gasoline . . . . . .Diesel
Federal . . . . . . 18.40 . . . . . . . . .24.40
Average of all states . . .26.49 . . 27.24
The federal gasoline tax raised $25 billion on gasoline in 2006. The tax was last raised in 1993, and is not indexed to inflation. The inflation rate from 1993 until 2015 was 64.6 percent.
Congress has not raised the federal tax on fuel since 1993 even though inflation has gone up almost 65%. No wonder roads crumble and bridges fall down.
