I think the cost savings were vs his 10mpg SUV. We rented a GMC Acadia once. Holy smokes I could not own a vehicle like that! So if he replaces the SUV with a Tesla S, he will see some serious $$ savings. Not sure the savings are as large if he is replacing a 1988 SIS (25-30mpg?) with a Roadster, but I can see a couple thousand $/year if he drives a lot. Maybe he was commuting in the SUV rather than the 900, and now he is commuting in the roadster. That would save $$ - effectively the roadster replaces the SUV, and the SUV replaces the 900.
The Tesla S does seem to have a certain amount of SAAB qualities to it. I didn't realize that it is RWD, so I will be interested to hear how people find it in winter... but the overall package is a lot like a 9000 (or a panamera?)... the large hatch concept has grown on me. I'm not sure whether I would prefer that vs a wagon, but many wagons nowadays look really bland, almost minivan-esque... the og9-5 wagon was an anomaly in that regard, but sadly they are a disappearing breed. We have an og9-5 sedan, and now I think it's too bad it was not a hatch. Saab really got the back end of the late 9000 right - can hardly tell it's not a sedan but it will swallow a dishwasher!
