If I were to have a need for a car or wanted to buy a new car it would probably be a model S, if I could live with the interior.

But (also in light of the article above), there are so many decent used cars that are better off staying on the road. Better to get the most use out of existing materials than to consume new (or newly recyled) material for the sake of newness.

I think it's great that battery and electric tech have caught up enough to be reasonably competitive. I don't think it's a full replacement, but more options means better fits for wider variety of use cases.
