I think this is how it went: There was a calculation offered that it costs $26000 more for the extra range of a Tesla needed to go from DC to NYC, compared to owning a Leaf and renting an ICE for the long trip. A number of trips was thrown out and divided into that $26K to get $500 a trip. Not the cost of charging (which is free) - but instead the cost for owning an S just to make long trips.
The main point is an S is very costly and extravagant. A Leaf with occasional use of an ICE (or maybe ther will be rentals of S models...) makes a lot of sense. For me a Leaf is extravagant.
