The "savings" from giving up your Tesla (under Loan) for a Cheap, old car, paid off

I was an A to B guy...until I got my Tesla

I’m an A to B guy because of the Tesla Each to their own though

Well, given the volumes they sell Camrys and Corollas at…vs BMW 3 series… you’re technically in the minority

People “buying it” and people actually “wanting it” are two completely different things.

Yes, but actions speak louder than words. Clearly more people enter into transactions for Camrys, so from an economics perspective...they're voting (literally) with their dollars.

gotta be honest - I didn’t get a Tesla so I could save money over an old cheap petrol car. I got it because it goes fast, looks cool, is great to drive, and it’s not adding to the pollution. I can easily afford any extra costs.

I agree…the lifetime cost savings are for when we are evangelising to the ev doubters…Tesla cars are just enjoyable, that’s enough for me

We got the Tesla for the acceleration 0-100mph. The tech and practicality of the MY. We didn’t buy it to save money. We decided to be part of the solution rather than the problem. However, it’s cheaper to run than our previous ICE vehicle including payment.
