Sounds good then. Still, over 40K for a vehicle ....

I’ll go into the math if you want, but I bought mine for financial reasons. It made sense when gas was a fraction of what it costs now.

After tax credits, write offs for my business, no gas or oil changes and regenerative brakes keeping my brake pads barely used I will be out of pocket less than $100/ month for a new car for 3 years. Thanks to the Ford Option purchase plan I can either walk away, pay off the balance or trade it in 3 years after purchase.

My first thought was that it would go after 3 years, but I really like it.

It is keeping my ICE cars alive longer, too, as commuter miles are hardest on them.

But it’s a personal decision in the end.
