As a very conservative Tesla driver, the cost of charging at home is a fraction of the cost and time than even when gas prices were $2.00. I have the performance of a very expensive sports car at the price of a well equipped Acura. It is expensive to charge at the super charger but how often do you drive over 300 miles in a day? I plug it in every night and it charges at about 44 miles per hours of charge while I sleep. It takes less than 5 seconds to plug and unplug. Also I currently pay zero in state and federal gas tax.

Road trips are where the convenience breaks down. We still have a gas SUV for that.

Are you counting $2,000 per year on battery replacement?

The cost of the Tesla, alone, is more than the cost of gas for the life of a gas powered car.

Toss in that the liberals have been shutting down electric power plants by the hundreds and it is easy to see that they want to control power production as the Soviet Union did as a means to control the people.

Today it might be inexpensive to power your Tesla, but as we also see with gas prices under the liberals, costs will only skyrocket.
