I would wonder about the tire costs. Tesla is big and heavy with large blingy wheels and high performance rubber. I guess you can get cheaper than original tired but not a lot cheaper in that size.
Also curious about insurance costs.
- vvanders 10y agoInsurance is actually pretty cheap relatively. They're the safest car on the road which really brings down medical and injury costs. I want to say it was ~$30/mo more than our Subaru. Tire costs: yeah. I'm at 35k right now and about to replace my first set of 19" tires for around ~$900. I ran the numbers and I actually pay more per-mile in tire cost(0.023) than electricity(0.02). That said my gas costs still more than make up for it. I was spending ~$300/mo in gas where I now spend ~$40.
