It's definitely insanely expensive. To me it was worth it though. Comparing the cost to my old car, which some would say was too high of a monthly payment anyway, although I made do, it was only 300 dollars more.
And gas here on Vancouver Island is like 200 dollars a month minimum. So for me, the cost was about the same overall, and I vastly prefer having the electric car.
But I know it's a very high amount that most people don't want to pay and I don't blame anyone. But anyone who buys a new car or has an insane payment I don't understand.
$300 more??
I've never had a $300 car payment. In fact, I haven't had a payment in over 10 years.
My first car was just over 300. My Tesla is just under 600
