Compared to pricing, maybe.

But driving a bently is "some work", so I would rather prefer the small e-vehicle :-))

I think the point was many people are car enthusiasts and can technically afford the maintenance if they want it that bad.

In fact, it usually takes them down the path of flipping the cars and falling up instead of down.

two doors down from my shop is an antique bently restorer. he's sold a few, but he still has 5 frames that he's working on. after all the custom panel and interior work and chasing after the few remaining parts available in all kinds of odd international corners he's still quite underwater.

Sucks to be that guy? I'm not sure what your point is. You haven't given enough information to assess much. It's also likely you don't know all the numbers or you'd be working there.

My fault, with >some work< I meant only the driving experience / effort, not any of the "maintenance / support" related issues (-:

Short version: I would go rather in leight-weight E-vehicle than in a heavy bently, navigating like an aircraft carrier
