TESLA owners come here.

✅ Full Cost Comparison Table

Vehicle Type	Efficiency Metric	Cost per Mile	Total Cost for 100,000 Miles
Tesla Model 3	24 kWh / 100 mi	$0.0456	$4,560
Gasoline Car (33 MPG)	33 MPG	$0.09697	$9,697
Gasoline Car (25 MPG)	25 MPG	$0.128	$12,800
Hybrid Car (40 MPG)	40 MPG	$0.08	$8,000
PHEV (30 mi EV range)	30 mi electric + 33 MPG gas	$0.08156	$8,156

 

100k miles drive cheste TESLA might save $5k in fuel cost. But car cost difference chala ekkuva. Range anxiety, Insurance is high, long drive is a pain, Is it worth buying TESLA cost per fuel wise?

Average insurance is at least 50/mo higher than normal car. On that note the fuel savings are gone. 
Why desis so crazy about TESLAs?

Cost per mile calculation ee wrong. Learnt it the hard way. Maintenance bokka. Tires oorikine potunnayi. Gas car lo easy ga 50K vachevi. Ikkada 25K kuda ratledu. Also, odometer reading meeda chala doubts vunnayi. I think it is not right. Silent lawsuits chala vunnayi.

At this point, it is all about drive quality for me. I am not saving money.
