The Model S was in the same price range as the BMW 3 Series but only when you take into account the tax credit which just expired. Without that tax credit there's a difference of over $7k. That's part of the reason why Tesla is dropping their prices a bit now.

How was the Model S in the same price range as a 3 series? A Model S started around $70k after the tax credit was taken into account, a 3 series starts at about $40k. Do you mean the Model 3, rather than the S?
The Model S is quite a bit more expensive than a 3 Series. Perhaps you meant the Model 3, which is still competitively priced with the 3 series?
