Something else many might not know either is that Tesla manufacturers work their models differently than any other manufacturer.
Other manufacturers who build their 2017 model in 2016 and releasing it in 2017 calls it the 2017 model while Tesla calls it as it is if built early in 2016 it is the 2016 model and in late 2016 for 2017 release it still remains a 2016 model albeit a new model.
The starting selling price for the Tesla Model S is $66,000 with buyers receiving a tax credit of $7,500 when purchasing a Model S.
