I recently went through a car shopping experience and i spreadsheet-ed the crap out of both identifying a vehicle(based on few criteria important to me, such as fuel economy, front leg room and front hip room[1], safety and reliability) and comparing potential candidates on the used car marketplace. Cars that mostly met my criteria were Tesla Model Y Long Range and Toyota Camry hybrid. I then proceeded to calculate the cost in fuel($4.40/gallon near me) and in energy($0.35.kwh off-peak thanks PG&E) and the cost to drive Tesla for 1000 miles were within a dollar of the cost for Camry Hybrid to do the same thing. But Tesla would cost $20k more and a trip SF-LA would mean 2 stops to recharge, whereas Camry Hybrid can do it on a single tank of gas. So i bought a lightly used 2020 Camry hybrid after expanding my search to about a 500 mile radius using AutoTempest.com which aggregates multiple car marketplaces. [1] My current car at the time was Volvo XC70 with extremely comfortable seats that Volvo is known for and i wanted to replicate as much of that comfort as I could.
