Hello all, was wondering which scenario is cheaper over the long term for a driver that does 30k miles a year.
1. buy/sell new Tesla every 2-3 years
2. purchase lightly used hybrid reliable boring Japanese car and keep it until 200k miles many years etc...?
Because we all know that EVs are cheaper to run but more expensive up front, insurance and registration costs on new vehicle every few years, difficult to service, etc... Tesla can be expensive to repair out of warranty. Whereas Japanese luxury is boring but maintenance is more like consumer level cars.
Which is cheaper in the long run?
