Tesla is a perfect car for a daughter:
1. Safest car ever built by man
2. Lots of space with a small, easy to park, footprint
3. Charge at home - much better than going to a gas station
4. No service requirements & stuff that has to get done can mostly be done conveniently in your own driveway. Services I've had in 70,000 miles
- - one set of tires
-- 12v battery (covered under warranty)
-- Cabin Air Filters (twice)
5. $7,500 tax break
6. One of the cheapest cars to own (less than a Toyota Corolla) due to the lower energy costs, tax credits and low purchase price

Really nothing even competes unless she's pulling more than 3,500#
