ICE vehicles won't be disappearing any time soon and it'll be quite a while before the Bluestar goes into production (I'm guessing 2018). I almost bought a Model S last year (made a deposit) but reluctantly backed out. (I bought the stock instead -- at $33). I'll definitely buy one in the future once it passes the "early adapter" phase.

Although people buying today are enjoying the attention of owning the coolest car on the planet, the price is definitely inflated simply because it has to be... The costs associated with starting a car company are astronomical! Once they reach equalibrium, these costs will come down and the prices will follow. In fact, it's not hard to imagine that EV's will ultimately become much cheaper than comparable ICE vehicles (far fewer parts).

With that said, if I were you, I would buy a nice ICE and wait a few years for the EV prices to come down. Of course, if everyone did that the prices would never come down! What you do depends on your circumstances.
