Sure, but what do they pay? (not including the burger)
- itishappy 2y agoLess than I do for gas.
- fifilura 2y agoYes, but you also paid $10k more for the car? And is it more if you compare it with e.g. a used Toyota Prius?
- itishappy 2y agoI'm not sure how that's relevant. Telsas are luxury cars, and my friend lives a luxury life. He pays 33% more for electricity at a supercharger, and it's still cheaper than gas. A Prius is the same price as a BYD, and the 40mi electric range is the same you'll get from overnight level 1 charging, so daily use can be the same price.
- fifilura 2y agoOk, so maybe Toyota miscalculated because of the Chinese price dumps? But note that I was not refering to the luxury case in my original post.
- itishappy 2y agoI do not disagree with the content of your post or Toyota's strategy. Just wanted to mention that charging at home is surprisingly feasible but not necessarily required.
