I don't spend $261 in fuel every month. Actually, closer to $70.
A friend of mine makes a road trip every week for business. Do they also add the cost of the time you spend waiting for a charge at charging stations vs a quicker gas pump for road trips? A full charge is about an hour. Should the price be higher for him?
Look, I'm not saying it's still not a decent bargain when all is said and done, I'm just saying you can't roll it into your 'cost' and advertise that as the price you want me to pay. I am not paying that. I'm paying 190 bucks more a month based on my current fuel usage. My friend would be paying for it in an extra hour a week at least. These things count too.
- ricardobeat 13y agoHave you been to the website? It's a calculator, you put in your mileage and other costs and it gives you the TOC. $580/month is the best case scenario. You'll see they actually do the opposite, discounting for saved time, since 90% of the time you'll just plug it in at home and never worry about recharging during the day, instead of a trip to the gas station every week. http://www.teslamotors.com/true-cost-of-ownership http://www.teslamotors.com/true-cost-of-ownership
