I've been curious and have run some back of the envelope analyses to evaluate the true cost per mile of our Model 3, but just put some "harder" numbers around it, based on one round trip commute (small sample I know). In particular, I wanted to compare it to my wife's old Prius, which we could run for about $.08 / mile (~42MPG, ~$3.50 / gallon), ignoring other costs and inconveniences of an ICE vehicle, as well as driving experience, etc.
Results of the analysis (table below) put our cost to operate the Model 3 at $.05 per mile, based on an off-peak kWH rate in San Jose, CA of ~$.23. There is a minor non-obvious adjustment in the math to account for a recharge to 243 rather than 250 miles, though it doesn't change the rounded end result. Also, note the 85% ratio of actual to theoretical range (on mostly flat freeway) - would be interested to know if that's a typical result.
