EngExp just did the math


Portland has very similar electricity prices as Vancouver...assuming the ICE is drinking cheaper US premium gas @ 30mpg, the Model 3 Perf is about 2.5x cheaper in energy costs

but yeah, HIGHLY doubt entry price costing ~2x makes it worthwhile (savings is roughly $7k over 10 years, and we know the average car owner doesn't even keep a vehicle that long)

unless we somehow hit like $4/L and electricity pricing remains constant
