They are dirt cheap around me, which is why I see so many of them. I saw a 2016 Model S with the Ludacris update go for 13k. I kind of wanted it just to drive one, then I looked up the repair prices.

Sure... I'd get a maybe 200 mile range out of it in the summer...but once winter hit I was looking at like 25k-50k to replace the battery and the motors.

I can swap the motor and transmission in my car for less than 10k and have a mostly new car.
