Funny, I don't feel scammed.
Drives better than any car I've owned previously. The 'fuel' cost is less than 1/2 of an equivalent gas car- and that's if I'm using peak hour Superchargers. The maintenance is significantly less- no oil changes, timing belts, etc, just rotate tires and change cabin air filters. And the car drives itself when I want it to.
So if by 'getting scammed' you mean 'have a car that costs way less to operate, is far more reliable, has more safety features, has more functionality, has a gas pump in my garage, and I can preheat it in my garage without dying of CO poisoning' then yeah absolutely I've gotten scammed and I'd love to be scammed like this more frequently :D
