For some people who drive 100k a day, yes you'll get cost savings. But most people don't.

For some people who have a dependable charging routine at home in their garage and/or at work, yes it'll be more convenient but most people don't at the moment.

If those two don't appy to the people you are talking to trying to show them the way of the EV, then just be honest with that and not try to justify cost and convenience by coming up with all these hypothetical scenarios.

Look, it's ok to buy a car just coz it's cool shit and you kind of want to be proud of it. Look at all the people who line up to pay 4-digit figures to have the latest iPhone (or badhobz' dog's necklace). Just don't try to kid yourself or others that it's cost savings if you know you don't drive 100k a day and you've never kept a car for more than 6 years.

Thats exactly my whole point!!! thank you Sonick. But these EV fanboi's are coming out of the wood works to try and prove that somehow their 68k Model 3's are cheaper to run than a ratrolla LE.
