Hmm, had to compare with my 2017 Hyundai Elantra. Only one tire lost to unexpected flat (one of the factory tires) Two sets of tires (most recent at 180k), $50 oil changes every 7500 miles, one front end disassembly to powerwash the radiator from the layers of built up smashed bugs, two 12v batteries, one front end brake pad change and $19,374 worth of gas.
Total operating cost excluding insurance and purchase price is 11.1 cents per mile, 19.1792 cents per mile including purchase price for 204002 miles.
Just the end price $70,000 for this Tesla, you’re talking 17.5 cents a mile excluding all the service and charging.
Pretty solid comparison from an internal co!bastion alternative with a lifetime mpg of 33.234.
If you add in the fuel costs they are very similar!
And you get to drive a luxury SUV.
