I am currently waiting on Model 3 SR+ which scheduled for delivery in 2 weeks.
Here's my current situation: I barely drive and I am returning my BMW 330xi drive with 24000 KM accumulated over 48 months. I like Tesla because the technology is so advanced and also it is ecofriendly. However, I am facing some financial questions that I would like some input on:
Point 1. I live in a condominium and my garage spot is far from the electrical panel room (240 feet of wiring). I've had two electricians quote me over $4000 CAD to obtain and install a 240 volt charging station. The government would pay half of it so I am looking to incur over $2000 costs of my own.
Point 2. I don't drive much as you can tell. I gas up like every 1.5 months since I work from home 100% 24/7.
Point 3. BMW quoted me on a 2021 BMW 330x and it's like 100$ more a month in lease payment compared to Model SR +
You see my dilemma guys. As as much as EV is great for the environment, how much am I saving really? Not to mention the BMW is AWD. Is it worth it for me or I am not seing the big picture?
Thank you
