If you are on both sides of the fence, take a look at a Fisker Karma
Back on topic though, if you want the D4 S8, do it, life is too short

Hmm...and oil will last forever
:
Definition of "rare earth" (Google - emphasis added) is "any of a group of chemically similar metallic elements comprising the lanthanide series and (usually) scandium and yttrium.
They are not especially rare, but they tend to occur together in nature and are difficult to separate from one another"
The Fisker Karma is a joke - it caught fire nearly as often as a petrol vehicle
.
And (back on thread), though the D4 S8 is an ok car, I'd just say one word: depreciation.
