With all these things you need to rationally evaluate the

I imagine these vehicles will have no value when the battery
gives up and you will be paying to have it towed away.
Ask questions about the mean, and std deviation, time
to failure of the battery. Also the real future cost of electricity
is an issue. No crystal ball is needed to know where that is
going.
Things like crash survive-ability and the risk of the thing
burning down your garage, and your house, need to be
considered.
I wonder when insurers will start reassessing their risk
in these matters and adjusting premiums accordingly?
Just some random thoughts. Don't buy your transport
with ego, or emotion.

Yep and many/most of the decent size family cars are well north of $100k dunno how anyone justifies spending that sort of money on a car unless you have oodles of money.
