Not sure if this is referring to the Model S, or the video embed (I didn't watch it), but for refrence the Model S has a heap of cargo space, more then pretty much any similar car on the market. The battery lays flat on the floor, so you have both a massive boot and the 'frunk'.

It's a car, of course it will always cost more. Are you saying people will stop buying cars because they can't get them down to the price of a mobile phone? A mobile phone isn't the target, a competitive price relative to gas cars is. Given the quality of the sedan it is already competitive with similar cars (Merc's, etc), however their next planned iteration is a $30k car, that is a 3~ years off though.
Contract is irrelevant, as stated above. You don't get 5 years free fuel with your current car either.
Haters gotta hate.
