Stop that. I did not say never. Gasoline cars explode too, I saw it in a blues brothers movie. Same as you, I've also seen a car fire in real life with the trucks and sirens and everything. Fires are a thing, the night is dark and full of terrors.
Sometimes civilian planes drop out of the sky or even get shot down. Even humans on occasion "spontaneously combust". I can link you news stories demonstrating such events, yet here you are in the day to day not paralyzed by fear of it happening to you. I assume.
> Also, socialists don't call each other "comrade."
Astute. I am not a socialist, amigo. Myself, I was actually thinking of good natured, how you say, Humor[*].
> Sure. Every singleton I see in the HOV lane really has a dog and two kids stuffed in the trunk. I just can't see them.
Never said that either. I said you can't fit that stuff into a little Fiat 500, it is not the same vehicle category. This isn't an opinion. It literally isn't.
> But you're crazy if you say it's cheaper than a $4k used ICE vehicle,
Never said that either!
> It's also crazy to say a $75k+ luxury car has a lower TCO than a $40k 2023 Camry.
Nor that.
Is this a reading comprehension issue or just a relentless insistence on throwing shade?
Once again: If you actually want to compare used ICE vehicles like a Camry to a Tesla, you'd compare to a comparable used Tesla model not a brand new $75,000+ one. Used Toyotas are extremely reliable and affordable, it is a great option! May very well be the best option depending on what is available in your location at a given moment.
A new model 3 can now be had for ~$39,900 vs a new Camry for ~$29,900. (https://www.tesla.com/model3/design#overview)
Most people don't buy new, you might not want/need to, that is a separate discussion. Depending how much you drive, as fuel is expensive, eventually you'll break even - maybe around 10 years / 100k miles, you can look it up and do the calculation yourself.
It may or may not be the right option for somebody but surely has nothing to do with the completely different category of $75,000+ cars.
