Who knows why you're being down-voted, you're not wrong. The economics of electric vehicles with million mile chassis and 300k mile batteries (going to 1m mile design life in Teslas next year) are incredible.
I enjoy riding motorcycles because the performance per dollar has been unrivaled. However, the Model 3 Performance (heck, even the dual motor Model 3) is really incredible - it can sprint to 60 mph in ~3 seconds and it consumes very little energy per mile in regular driving.
Once used Model 3s with full self driving are available for less than $30k, I'm going to strongly consider one. The only reason I haven't bought one outright is because I may come to find it makes more sense just to use the Tesla network for when I need a car.
I run top-of-the-line tires on my motorcycle, doing so costs me around $0.06/mile, for the price of motorcycle tires I could depreciate a $60k car over 1 million miles! I imagine insurance will eventually favor the Tesla and the Tesla already costs less per mile in 'fuel'.
