If you go to the source of that graphic, you can find more info. The Tesla’s are fairly high on the cost scale, particularly when comparing to other cars (as opposed to SUVs and trucks which typically have heavy duty components and more expensive maintenance)

If you don't live in the USA be sure to go into the settings as there are a number of defaults which may not match your life.

For me, at least, the price of petrol is about 2.5 what the default is and the default yearly distance driven is at least twice what I would do .

As far as I can tell the vehicle sticker prices in the US are about 0.6 to 0.8 what they would be here but you can't change that within the model anyway.
