Some young people may see Model S as an extension of their iPods. They will have an easier adjustment to plugging in Model S or a future EV.There's an interesting story in today's NY Times about how young people don't really love cars the way generations before did.

If TM can get the first 3k vehicles before end of year it might be a good time to consider some advertisements in early 2013. A few well-placed ads and a growing number of vehicles on the roads could easily bring in another 10k reservations. They would definitely require at least one vehicle per store to offer test drives. Many of those potential buyers will be looking for something more substantial and not what we have been doing for the past several years.
I think the Model S is something that young people would really love once they saw and it and understood what it was all about. ....
I can see the base Model S appealing to young professionals in their late 20s who have been studying a long time and are just in their first big job. They may want to reward themselves and pick something more modern and clean like the Model S.
Hmmm ... That sounds a little like myself! Except that studying thing. I was more interested in beer, bicycle races, and more beer. Granted I did do well in college.

Not sure what sort of professionals you're talking about, but as a software engineer, which is a reasonably well paying job, there is absolutely no way I could have afforded the equivalent of a base model S at that point in my life.
