Tesla went for years trying to make the _sticker price_ include "four years of gas savings: $3,500", bringing the 3 to $31.5K.
Of course you couldn't buy one for that price. That was fairly deceptive. Then Tesla fans tried to spin it as "trying to bring honesty to the market by looking at TCO"... except while they were happy to mention savings from gas, they didn't mention the cost of installing 240V, and their electricity costs were somewhat... absent.
