From 11 months of ownership and 8,000 miles of driving. Gas here is $2.79 today and electricity is $0.09 per kwh. I haven't paid any attention to diesel recently, but higher cost per gallon and better mileage than gasoline. Hence the approximate $0.15 - $0.20 for fuel and YMMV.I don't know where those numbers came from. Elon's numbers are total cost of ownership as seen in the in Tesla Shareholder meeting:View attachment 938560
Of course that's not the total cost of ownership, but the insurance on the Y is about 1/2 of the insurance on my Kia, (and I had a low rate with a 100% safety score). So the chart may be correct for insurance on a Toyota, but it's quite inaccurate on a Kia and I expect also on a Y.. Depreciation? We'll have to see how that goes. The Kia appreciated $16,700 in the 3 years I had it (& 20,000 miles). It will be hard for the Y to beat that, but if FSD gets approval and fully released, then even depreciation on the Tesla will be a winner also.
