That’s pretty cool. I’d like to see what an average car costs, fuel/oil wise, over its life span. I’m willing to bet the purchase price of a Tesla is significantly less than what the costs to buy, drive and maintain a combustion engine car is. 

I think, the biggest issue with Tesla's right now is if something goes wrong, it can take days, weeks, even months to get it fixed.  

The other huge one, is the infrastructure issues, and that the roadways aren't designed to handle constant heavy cars.  I'm beginning to see the trucker grooves all over the place now on the city streets where you'd really only see them where there was a constant flow of semi's.

What they don't account for is the trickle down effect.  If gas is more expensive in one part of the country, then the other part will divert gas to that area to make the profit.  Then the parts unaffected will go up in price, because there is a shortage of gas since it was diverted away.  

You see that especially in Calolfornia.  If one or two refineries go down, gas prices will shoot up.  Then those refineries from out of state will start making the Calolfornia blend to take advantage of the sky high prices.  It's not that out of state refineries can't make Calolfornia blends.  It's that it's not profitable to make a niche Calolfornia blend, when you can make a blend for the other 49 states and still make money.

There's also the "gas companies will use any excuse to price gouge" effect.

Gas in Los Angeles County is at its highest price so far this year

 

[T.G.]

It's been $3.799 per gallon at my Costco for a couple months now.

[Tank]

i paid 4.10 in palm desert saturday night.

[gotbeer]

The station I usually go to was $3.99 for a while, now it's $4.09.  The Costco I go to in Azusa to fill up was $3.79 last month, now at $3.85.  

On the bright side, only 30 cents away from an all time high.  Garcetti and Newsom need to tax harder to make us safer.
