They added some charging stations to my workplace but I'm not willing to sink that much of my wealth into a depreciating asset just yet. I'm not as far into my career as you just yet. give me a few years and i might consider getting a nicer car.
I'm more likely to get a jeep.
There are some of those tesla trucks around and they are pretty ugly tbh.
Prior to the Elon Tesla propaganda hate, I collected data points on Tesla models and competing hybrid and efficient ICE. The only Tesla that was worth while in the 10-20 year ownership range was the Model Y. It crushed rankings on most of the metrics even accounting for battery replacement cost at 10 year mark. Model 3 slightly worse on budget. Cybertruck, unfortunately ended up with crap ranking because of the price hike at launch. Was 30pcnt higher than advertised.
Anyways, Model Y was the only economical option (and safer with iron phosphate). Was coming in at $56k at 10 year ownership. Corolla was $54k at 10 year with my scenario. Model 3 was $58k. CyberTruck was like $90k plus.
