I still don't see EVs as worth the premium they cost. He was saying driving a Tesla knocks off paying $450 a month in gas. I guarantee there's a self incurred cost in there that pushes it that high in the first place.

It's like when a person tells you a car lease saves them money because they don't have to trade in the car every 3 years to get a new one. I look at them and go if you really wanted to save money you wouldn't switch cars every 3 years.

I could get a cheap used ICE car to drive to and from work. A reliable Japanese type, pay cash for it, and even if you factor in maintenance, gas, and all other cost it's gonna be way cheaper than paying $50K+ for an EV. We could get that to probably a 15 year+ horizon to where the cost even break even.

The tech geek in me would love a Tesla but the pragmatist in me knows it's just a toy. You can rationalize almost anything to your advantage if you apply base logic that forces it to be so. As I've gotten older my attitude has been to admit when I'm buying a toy and stop dressing it up in savvy decision making. That's not saying there's anything wrong with buying toys because there isn't.
Comparing paying cash for a 10k used car to paying $50k for a new EV isn’t a fair comparison. Most people aren’t deciding between extremes like that. If breh was fine spending $50k on a car point blank, buying the EV may have been more economical than a similarly priced $50k ICE car

it's less than owning a camry which is 12k cheaper. :ehh:




and the gap will get bigger because the cost of EVs goes down while ICE cars go up.
