That's exactly it! All this so called fuel savings is bullshit when you consider the model 3 is 50k vs a base model corolla is like 20k. You'll never make back the gas money.

Exactly... I have a friend who just took delivery of a Model3... the husband drives 5km to/from work every day and the rationale is to save money through government rebates, gas and he can charge for free at work in the daytime.
They're selling their current vehicle, a super low mileage Toyota Matrix to make room for it.
I asked her to explain how spending $50k+ on a new Tesla saves money on driving an already paid for Matrix that will never have problems... especially given he drives 10km a day tops. Silence... and then some mumbling about gas prices.
It's a lifestyle choice. Pure and simple. I want something new... I want something shiny... I want to play with tech. And that's totally fine, their choice, I just wish people would be honest about it.

Why not? What does a base Model3 have that a base Corolla doesn't nowadays besides some of the phone control tech Tesla puts in their cars? We're not in an era where base cars have manual windows and locks anymore. Air conditioning? Okay, go up to the Corolla LE at $21,700 then...
