RE: The Wild World of EV Ownership

in #teslalast year

The trials of new fangled technology! I do not have the patience for this. It's a good thing we have you figuring it all out.
So at $3.40 to charge enough to go 36 miles, your Tesla costs no less to drive around than my Honda Fit. I don't know why I thought EVs would be cheaper, but I did. Good to know!
I'm glad you like it though. If you feel good in it, then it's worth any extra hassles to get around in it.

Sort:  

EVs are significantly less expensive if you can charge at home and maintenance costs are close to zero due to there being far less moving parts. Many Tesla owners in forums I'm part of say in five years of ownership all they have to buy are tires, air filters, and windshield washer fluid. I really do love the car. It was a bit of an indulgence for me. I wouldn't typically spend that much on a vehicle.
