There are non-luxury electrics for half the price, the Leaf being the best example.

Buying a $500 used taxi or a $2000 used Toyota/Nissan and driving it into the ground will likely continue to be the cheapest vehicle per mile - by far. That's what a couple of our cars were before the Leaf.
Cost of the vehicle included, we're paying about $0.28 per mile for our Leaf. That's about the same as a 16mpg Crown Vic bought at auction for $500 for a year's worth of disposable service.
My point was (and is still), however, that electric cars aren't merely for housewives who only pick up groceries on alternating Tuesdays. Electric car drivers, on the whole, don't have to do anything differently unless their daily drive is already outside the range of their car.
For those rare times when you're actually going to make long drives where recharging isn't an option, you can easily rent a car for a fee that's not much more than the gas savings you're already getting.
Sure. Electric cars are expensive, but it's a myth that they're "runabout vehicles."
At $3.65/gal, a highly efficient car pays 10 cents a mile for gas, or about $20 for 200 miles. At $3.65/gal, a car that gets 24 miles to the gallon (of which there are plenty), pays just over $30 to drive 200 miles.
Of course, since you likely paid about $0.02/mile for grid electricity (I'm paying 1.7 cents/mile for my electric car), that's not quite 30, so....
Use taxes are aboutas fair as you're going to get.
Someone gets screwed in ever model, but you're going to have to break a few eggs.
You could avoid the monitoring if you wanted. Whomever does car inspections up there already knows how many miles the average Oregonian drives - and knows how many miles you drove since your last registrations if you have a history. Bill you your projected taxes based on average or previous driving history, and then fix any overages/underages in your next registration. Set a floor or a cap on the whole tax or on underages/overages if you think it makes for a better tax plan.....and you can do it all without installing a black box.
As the owner of a Leaf, with a ~90 mile range (my range is about 90 anyway, YMWV), I can say that a Tesla is a bit more than a "runabout vehicle." We thought we'd have to make SERIOUS adjustments driving a Leaf in the far suburbs of Phoenix (we're 3+ miles to a gas station, and 10 miles from the nearest Freeway), but a few MINOR tweaks and we're golden -- and that's on half of the Tesla's range.
Yes, Texas is a big state, and it's not suitable for driving 100+ miles one way and then driving back unless you like gambling, but all it takes it a little planning to do all but the most extreme of driving for almost all users.
If you drive 200 miles every day, get a different car. If you drive 200 miles every once in a while, rent a car for $30 a day, you saved that in Tesla "gas" alone yesterday.
It's why Sony and MGM don't have theaters in Texas, but instead have to lease their films to movie houses. Sorry, you can only see the Disney movie at the Disney theater, at Disney prices.
In reality, it's to make sure that a middle-man gets a juicy cut of the sales.
If they pass that portion of the test, engage them in some more dialog - more rhetorical in nature than direct questions...
6. In a magazine you come across a full-page photo of a nude girl. 7. You show the picture to your husband. He likes it and hangs it on the wall. The girl is lying on a bearskin rug. 8. You become pregnant by a man who runs off with your best friend, and you decide to get an abortion. 9. Last question. You're watching an old movie. It shows a banquet in progress, the guests are enjoying raw oysters. The entree consists of boiled dog stuffed with rice. The raw oysters are less acceptable to you than a dish of boiled dog.
1. It’s your birthday. Someone gives you a calfskin wallet. How do you react? 2. You've got a little boy. He shows you his butterfly collection plus the killing jar. What do you do? 3. You’re watching television. Suddenly you realize there’s a wasp crawling on your arm. 4. You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, Tony, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back, Tony. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that? 5. Describe in single words, only the good things that come into your mind about your mother.

Backpage is where most of the Craigslist hookers went, once they stopped asking for donations of "roses."

I know you're an AC, but is your comprehension that bad?
At low speeds: Tesla > Camero
At high speeds: Tesla ~ Camero

Texas does have some great gas prices, that's for sure.
Nationally, $3.60/gal this year is par for the course.

I didn't say it made any sense.
I said that was the rationale.
Or, if you prefer, the line of bullshit the auto-dealer lobby foisted on Texas.
It's not too nutty on the surface, but a quick inspection reveals it's so you can sneak in a middle-man who serves no useful purpose.

Ostensibly, this is to prevent monopolies.

Pretty much matches the Camero at higher speeds, and crushes it at lower speeds.
So, you know, you're spouting bullshit.

Driving Plane doesn't have the same ring to it...
Airline costs USED to be a big deal. If your kid decided to move out to the coast, they were gone forever.
Nowadays, you spend a couple days pay and fly out for the weekend.
We may long for the "good old days" when people got dressed up to get on airplanes and everyone smoked while we flew, but we don't miss the prices.
Yuck.
