It's a decision that person didn't need to make, they had 7 cars in the drive way and have a 22kw charging point being installed in a few weeks (currently charging it with 3 pin plug extension from the garage)
They were in a position where they could replace most of their vehicles with electric if availability wasn't an issue. In saying that if you were looking at buying a new car today, and had a drive way/garage. It would be worth while paying a bit more for an EV. The only viable excuse would be if you did regular long distance commutes, where a single charge wouldn't be sufficient to cover it. Obviously if you were in the market for a BMW 5 series, or a Mercedes E-Class, then Tesla would be around the same price range and likely save you thousands a year in running costs and almost certainly save a fortune in fuel.
