My tesla model s is about 10 years old now and it's cost of ownership is far lower than any gasoline car I have had. These cars were expensive to buy (but getting cheaper) but are far far far cheaper to own. You can look at the article you are commenting on and see that economists are predicting that total cost of ownership of EVs will be lower than gasoline cars by 2025.

are you saying your tesla's total cost of ownership is higher than gasoline cars you've had? Or that your car is somehow unusually cheap, given that you bought an expensive one and we are before 2025?


Or he paid through the nose for the upkeep of his ICEs, as it is often the case with certain German premium brands for instance.


The reduction in time, inconvenience, and headache going from ICE to EV is pretty amazing. I'll basically never have to go to another gas station, ever again! No more oil changes. My last ICE car? Toyota Corolla. No contest in convenience and reliability.
