You don't need a pick-up truck, just because you might need to move some furniture every few months. You don't need a car with a long range, just because you might want to go on a road trip once a year. You can rent.
I grew up about 100 miles from the nearest decent-sized city. You couldn't use a Tesla there, because you couldn't head to the city every time you got bored and had a spare day (well, technically you could, but you wouldn't want to cut things too fine). But if you live in a big city, and are unlikely to go on long trips more than a few times a year, electric would be fine.
- rdl 15y agoThe 230 and 300 mile Teslas are perfect for large metro area use (like SFBA, metro Seattle, LA, etc.). I still think most people buying $50-70k cars in general, and especially Teslas, are likely to actually own another car (either in a 2-car 2-driver household, or just by keeping their gas/diesel and augmenting it with a Tesla), vs. renting. It might depend on garage space more than anything.
