EV's have tons less parts so they should be much cheaper than ICE-powered vehicles. So how much are manufacturers gouging people for EV since they know tax credits reduce the price and make those vehicles tempting? Batteries are the expensive part right now, but again how much of it is really profits? Makes me wonder.
Ford's EV are not as efficient as Tesla. And Ford is brand new at EV... perhaps in a few years things may be different.

And, NO, Ford is not brand new at EV. That's factually incorrect unless you consider 1997 to be " brand new". That's when they first proved the Ranger EV which is exactly before Tesla was even founded. Got anymore "facts" you'd like to share?

Yes, they do.

Average length of new car ownership is 8.4 years.
Why would that be uncertain? The oldest Model S vehicles are already approaching 10 years old and have been doing fine for the most part.
There's plenty of examples of such cars with hundreds of thousands of miles on them.
The newer much more common models like the 3 and Y have significant engineering improvements, fewer "weird" complexities (like the self-presenting door handles on the S) and newer battery and motor tech, that is likely to last even longer.
They list the efficiency of all vehicles for sale-- Fords is pretty terrible.
Just some for-example numbers:
The Ford Mach-E AWD is rated at 93 MPGe.
The comparable Tesla Model Y AWD is rated at 123 MPGe.
Likewise comparing the Mach E GT Performance at 82 MPGe versus the Model Y performance at 111 MPGe.
So Ford is about 25% worse on efficiency than Tesla here.
Mind you, in both cases the Tesla is not only way more efficient, it's faster too, so kinda double embarrassing for Ford.
I can't find the page for oil changes or air filter..?
TheBlizDid you check page 404?
I use the free Fuelly app to keep track of fuel consumption, miles driven, prices paid and other statistics. Since 2018 my fuel costs have averaged 7.6 cents per mile and my average weekly fuel costs have been $18. My fuel costs are low because one car gets 33 MPG while the other gets 40 MPG real world calculated.
At 12 cents per KWHr charging an EV would cost about 4 cents per mile. At 18 cents per KWHr charging an EV would cost about 6 cents per mile, assuming 3 miles = 1 KWHr efficiency.
So in my case driving an EV and charging at home would only result in an $500 annual savings vs the $5000 annual savings in your example.
but i doont own tesla

The closest I could find to your estimate was a Forbes article that said the average was around 7 years and a KBB article saying around 6 years which in both cases come under the 8-10 year estimate. Regardless, the original post was littered with assumptions and as I said if those assumptions work for you then good but most people do not fall under those assumptions meaning you probably won't break even with a Tesla.
Taking a sample from one version of a car does not speak to what the maintenance will be for multiple trims over time. Additionally you have not provided any link to estimate what the maintenance costs have been for Tesla owners who have owned even that car to up to 10 years.

Ford's all-new Focus Electric is now officially America's most fuel-efficient five-passenger car with a certified 110 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) city rating and 99 MPGe on the highway.
The most efficient electric car (and overall, regardless of the powertrain) is the entry-level Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus (RWD). Its efficiency in the EPA Combined cycle is 237 Wh/mi (147 Wh/km). On the highway, it's 253 Wh/mi (157 Wh/km)
NOBODY can yet compete with Tesla on efficiency, I wish that was not the case but it is. And Tesla is not just a little more efficient, they are ALOT more efficient.
1997???!!!! Is this a JOKE. You think anything from 1997 is relevant? Ford is late the to game like every other manufacturer. And Tesla is the leader in this field by quite a bit.
FYI, I could never buy a Tesla cause I will not support a person like Musk (who is a complete ass hole). Just don't think I am a Tesla fan boy, but I say it how I see it. We are buying a new EV this year... either a BZ4X or EV6 or Solterra and I would like more info about Honda's upcoming EV in 2023.
