A Davie litigator wanted the ease of autopilot when he went car shopping and decided the 691-horsepower Tesla S 90D sedan was the one for him.

John Kelner placed an online order at the Tesla showroom and paid a $2,500 deposit Dec. 10, 2016. Four days later, he made his first lease payment of $24,333. The $108,770 purchase price included a $5,000 premium for enhanced autopilot software, which the carmaker promised on its website and in marketing materials would be available that month.
