Even though the Prius cost $4,500 more than a wonderful Civic, I have already saved $17,000 more. Now tell me which car was cheaper?
I'm not disagreeing that you came out ahead, but some of your numbers are questionable? I've got 150k on my Civic, and only had 2 brake jobs so far. As far as other maintenance, how do you automatically assume $1000 saved?
So you don't really need it. You just want it.
Gas savings 10cents per mile $10,000
e cars 3 cents per mile
Electricity rebates $500 per year $1,500
Assume 3 years only.
The total maintenance I have spent on the 160,000 Prius miles was $1,000 including the brakes + oil changes. No repairs were done, because nothing ever went wrong.
Without any problems found That's a fucking miracle car. I want to take you to the track next time I go to pick my horse.
I have a 2014 Camry hybrid and I gotta say I like the car.

Did you buy the extended warranty.

That's all I have spent. Plus oil changes.
I've been a car guy for 40 years and have never seen anything close to that.

Uh-oh... Fire under the Big Top!

EDIT: looks like that is a small tent, not the Model 3 assembly line.
MrMagic saysIf it's such an awesome car, why do you need to buy an extended warranty? It shouldn't need any repairs...
What are you even talking about? You get sold extended warranties on any car you purchase. This isn't exclusive to Tesla. Oh, that's right, you buy the perfect car that has zero problems so warranties don't matter to you. Do you read what you type?

E-man saysGreat choice. Patience is a virtue. Although Tesla's powertrain and battery are only guaranteed for 8 years or 100,000 miles, the battery is still running at 500,000 miles with less than 20% battery degradation when tested. The powertrain is designed to last 1,000,000 miles. Basically, it takes over 80 years to drive 1,000,000 miles for the average American folks. Not sure if you would live that long to see your powertrain lasted 1,000,000 miles.
After $7,500 Fed tax credit, $2,500 CA tax rebate and $500 PG&E rebate, the Model 3 costs less than $50k out the door. It's costing me $15/mo on average for 1,000 miles/mo driving. With the gas saving for a few years, it will pay for the next $10k. Just go for the long range now. No need to wait. Make that jump.
This is the type of logic I used 7 years ago with the 2011 Prius compared to the 2011 Honda Civic. The lowest advertised ...
Thanks for interjecting some common sense. It's best not to feed the trolls.
Yes, because the fanboys just can't handle the truth.
Tesla Model 3 finish is ‘below average,’ analyst says
You may think I'm exaggerating, but what else do you call a company that is largely supported by government programs, and requires you to pay up front for a car you may never get?
Since the electricity in the Bay Area is made burning natural gas in Duke Power Moss Landing, Tesla's factory and Teslas in the bay area are running on natural gas.
I'd bet the fatality rate in auto accidents would drop a good 10% due to removing the explosive material. Maybe more. I actually wonder if there's a study out there examining what the final cause of death was in a car accident. If fire was any significant percentage of the total, that should be reason enough to try and switch to EV's.
I do hope you aren't referencing me in your comment as a fanboy. Again, reading words is a skill.
But if everyone switched to electric cars, I'd bet the fatality rate in auto accidents would drop a good 10% due to removing the explosive material.
The car that was revolutionary was unfortunately not popular and not so successful. This was the Honda Civic running on natural gas (CNG)

Wow...
There are no words....
The number is very small. https://saferide4kids.com/blog/car-fires-vehicle-submersion/

but was just making an opinion
Wow, there are no links... As usual....
I know I could have looked it up myself,
There's still hope for us.
I guess some boomers are better then others.
Guess what, there's this thing called Google.... amazing stuff... you should try it sometime.
And I haven’t encountered an owner that isn’t head over heels for their purchase. I don’t know what to believe anymore.
