The $1 Tesla anyone can afford

There's a lot more to figuring out the true cost of a Tesla than you might think. Options and state and federal tax breaks make a big difference.

Tesla's own Twitter account could barely keep the news a secret before the toy Model S was officially unveiled.


The Tesla toy cars are now being sold in stores for $1.09, according to Mattel. At that price the toy costs far less than 1/64th of what a Tesla Model S P85D normally fetches, with its $100,000 fully-loaded price tag.
