I dont know but perhaps selling the flat and buying a house with the money you would have spent on either of the two cars would have been wiser? Or showing status is more important around that part of europe?

You really think that the difference between EV and gazoline is big enough that you could upgrade from an apartment to a house? And let's not forget that a whole society living in single housing is a lot less eco-friendly than someone living in an apartment in a dense city and being able to do a lot of errands walking. Transportation emissions is not the only eco-impact, there's a lot that goes into housing and non efficient use of land.

  the cars s/he mentioned are estimated at 100k euros, and in poland thats a lot. dont be fooled by european hybrids - they pollute more because the electric engine runs for short distances, and when it doesnt carrying it actually takes more fuel. i am all for evs and proper hybrids but this is not the case.

    The Porsche Taycan and all Teslas are full EVs - which is what that were considering purchasing.

  Thank you! I don't want to live in a single housing period. Atm EV isn't an option for people living in the flats without access to the public infrastructure. If I bought a house I would have to commute 5x longer distance every day.

Ummm... How does that logic even work? Where do you live that a house is cheaper than an apartment? :-)

First of all I feel judged here - you don't know how much money and properties I own. I am earning my money outside Poland and I understand these car might be expensive for polish standards, but not in e.g. US. I try to avoid showing status, I wear normal clothes and avoid buying expensive stuff, but Porsche was my childhood dream - I love the design. Going back to the topic, I live in the flat as it's close to central, I don't want to live in the house.

They'd only not be expensive by Silicon Valley standards. A Porsche Taycan is a $100k+ car. Very few people own that in the US. Most of the Teslas sold are also expensive cars by US standards too (very few are buying at base price).
