$26k gas gets you about 200,000 miles, so the T3 about breaks even with the Camry. Having driven both a Camry and a Leaf, I’ll take the T3.
I advised my Daughter and Son-in-Law to buy a Toyota Corolla as their first car. They did so and it lasted them almost 8 trouble free miles.
By that time they could afford a top of the line Dodge Diesel one ton pickup and a Chrysler SUV of some type. My Daughter drives the SUV with the kids but the pickup will also hold them all.
200,00 miles gets you two tesla battery exchanges for 10 grand each. At 6600 bucks for battery charges at 10 cents a kilowatt hour you are actually paying more than gas to operate a Tesla.
Yep, it’s a scam. Prius is Pious spelled by the marketing department.
