What Are You Driving ?

[Litos]

Here's another example

My truck costs $100 to fill up (26gal tank @ $4.10/gal) - it gets @ 13.8mpg and I can typically go @ 360 to 380 miles when on a Roadtrip...

If I took my truck to The Valley this year to watch my nephew graduate, I'd pay $100 to get from my house to my brothers house...then, pay another $80 or so to fill back up and make it home...then I'd fill it back up with maybe another $80...

That's $260 total from the time I leave my house to the time it's prepared to get driven to work...

With the Tesla M3P, I will leave with a full charge, which probably cost me $12 - then, we'll stop for about 20-30 minutes to stretch our legs, eat some lunch and fill up the car at Tesla Supercharging Station (I'll probably pay $8-10 because I will only have to get 150 miles of charge)...

Then, I'll get to The Valley and charge it again ($8 to $10)...

On the way back, I'll stop at the same Tesla Supercharging Station again, eat, stretch our legs and charge up (another $8-$10) - then drive all the way home...

When I get home, I'll throw it on the charger and have to pay $12 to charge it back up to full...

So that's @ $54 in charging from the time I leave my house to the time it's prepared to get driven to work the next day...

Just saved $200 in stupid ass gas...

They have their place.... I get that.


Your math I dont get. You are counting the gas to get there. Counting the gas to get back and then counting the gas to fill it up again that wasnt burned for the trip? If you hadnt taken the trip your tank would still be full. You cant count all 3 fill ups cause you only used 2 on the trip. Nice try though.

Seems like I've made it too difficult for some to understand - let me do this

If I go on a 560 mile round trip in my ICE, I will spend @ $166 for those "driving gas miles" (NOTE: .30c a gallon in my lifted rig)

If I go on a 560 mile road trip in my EV, I will spend $20 for those "electric miles" (low cost of kwh in southeast Texas)

...all these savings and still with the ability to embarrass 98% of any car that rolls up next to me in my pearly white seats...

When you live in a metropolitan area maybe. Get off that tit.

I'm country to my bones - I just currently live in one of the biggest metro areas in these beautiful United States

The country and the beach is only 15 miles south of my house - it's night and day difference

I have a 1/2 mile gravel driveway. Still want a Tesla for work commuting and general family shenanigans. Then I’ll sell my newer truck and buy an older ****box.

But you had to buy a $60k+ vehicle to not pay for that dumb gas,
Thats what Uncle Joey keeps telling us. "We can save $80 mo at the pump if we buy an electric vehicle"

Nothing about this is too difficult to understand except how in your world burning 2 tanks of gas gets counted as 3 tanks to prove your point. Must be that new math they are trying to teach the kids in school nowdays.
