76240 Euro in Germany. There are no listed tax credits. For company cars it's 500 Euro/kWh maxing out at 10k in 2013 then -50/kWh and -500 total each year so this year we'd be at 400 Euro/kWh maxing at 9k. For Teslas the max is the only thing that matters because the battery easily outpaces the max (28k for the 70D). +20 Euro/month in tax credit = 9240 Euro less for an even 67k. You can also get a 42 Euro/month credit if you use the car at home so that's an extra ~500/year.

I've recently read about a consulting company that switched to Tesla company cars. The standard seems to be around Audi A6 level Diesels and the Tesla There was also some talk about image ramifications both positive (especially for IT consulting) and negative (especially for cost cutting consultants in rough times). Pretty sure they said the standard cars would have been quite a bit less expensive but they did it anyway because it's a net+ for the image (+really cool :P). Interestingly they briefly mentioned that the move was a huge plus in recruiting talent. Only anecdotal evidence but they added it as a perk in the adds and it got talked about in every interview and was seen as a good driver for talent acquisition.

Lol consultants and all but I could see the same reasoning helping with recruiting programmers (we do love our tech toys after all)
