The Ukranian guy in this article didn't like spending $400 a month on fuel for his Jeep. So he spent $53,000 getting a wrecked Tesla imported and fixed, so he could pay about $50 a month to charge the Tesla.

Now he just has to drive the Tesla for 12 years to break even on fuel costs. Good move. :|

Heh I don't know ask Wired/Getty. Looks like a crashed Tesla on the left, then maybe the stretched out part represents the travel or repair process, then a not crashed part on the right with Ukraine colors.
