The math I used to trade in our mini:
It was doing about 25k km per year and averages 7.4L/100km and at a very conservative $1.5/L (this thing needed premium), I was paying 2775 in gas per year. Then plus all the maintenance and whatnot which I estimate at again conservative $600 per year over 10yr ownership. So 3375 per year.
With the model 3, I think 170wh/km is a good figure (again, I've done a lot lower, but just to be conservative), so 4250kwh per year and at 14cents, that's 595, add another 20% for lost efficiency. Plus it requires much less maintenance, say 150/yr (if that) average over same 10yr ownership, my yearly is ~850. Even if I bump up the maintenance cost somehow... it's still about a 1/3 of what I was spending on the Mini.
That's when I decided... fuck it... I'm buying the Model3. And not even in a bad way of "fuck it"... couldn't be happier about the decision.
